The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit
A little mole follows every animal's alibi to solve the mess that landed on his head.
Moles are made for stories. They live below the grass, where a tunnel can be a hallway, a hill can be a clue, and an ordinary trip aboveground can turn into a mystery before lunch. In children's books they are patient diggers, stubborn friends, accidental musicians, and small explorers who know that the world is bigger than the burrow.
Drawing from Bookroo's collection of mole books, our editors chose ten favorites that mix a very funny classic mystery, quiet friendship stories, determined small heroes, a wordless underground adventure, and a few books for readers ready to move into chapters. Start with the favorites, then browse the picture- and chapter-book shelves below.
