A Friend for Mole

A Friend for Mole

Nancy Armo | FICTION,  Mar 01, 2016

This simple but effective story will encourage children to overcome nighttime fears, especially with the help of others. The unlikely friendship of Mole and Wolf could continue to flourish in future adventures.—Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University Library, Mankato
When light-averse Mole gets stuck in a bush with darkness-fearing Wolf, each has an idea. Everything proceeds smoothly but predictably--each animal compensates for the other's weakness, after which they strike up a friendship. The affecting mixed-media art makes up for the text's spelling out its obvious message ("I was scared, but having you there made everything okay").
