PreSchool-K-In Piece of Moss, the lively mole sisters encounter a self-proclaimed "dull" piece of moss yearning for a change of scenery. They decide to cheer it up by taking it on an adventure. After a fun-filled day, the two settle down for the night, covered by a protective moss blanket. In Rainy Day, even bad weather cannot spoil the sisters' sunny dispositions; after encountering a leak, which turns from a puddle to a pool, they make the most of the situation and jump in for a swim. The characters' joie de vivre is conveyed through their body movements and dialogue, rather than by their fairly expressionless faces, which often consist of only two black dots for eyes. The simple, sparse texts combined with the thumbnail colored-pencil illustrations make these books welcome additions.DeAnn Tabuchi, San... |

Very funny... Deceptively simple, the sweet story captures the impulsiveness of childhood... effect of vivid imaginations... charming series.
Book Description
The Mole Sisters make the most of each day. Full of fun, imagination, and quiet confidence, these are small creatures with very big hearts. Their unfaltering optimism is contagious, bringing smiles to faces everywhere. Through the trees the Mole Sisters spy a fairy ring and quietly sneak up. Finding the area absent of fairies, the Mole Sisters begin to play dress-up, with flowers on their heads, wings, and magic wands. They look just like fairies! A sprinkle of magic fairy dust and a lot of imagination lead to dizzying fun, until it is time to be Moles again. About the series: The... |

PreSchool-In these two series installments, the siblings go about their day with zest whether it be venturing out into a wheat field or simply doing nothing. In Busy Bees they relax but observe that the bees are hard at work; in Wavy Wheat the plot revolves around the moles' adventure in a wheat field. Action phrases provide ample opportunities for child participation. For example, the sisters "Swish to the right-swish to the left-one, two, three and-'DOWN!'" Always upbeat and jolly, the characters are gentle companions. The small format is perfect for little hands but less practical for storytimes. Images are rendered in muted earth tones using colored pencils in a style reminiscent of pointillism. They have an almost dreamy quality. Independence, optimism, intelligence, and love of adventure are good... |
