A pleasant selection for fall storytimes and a good choice for beginning readers." — School Library JournalIt's cold and blustery outside, and the best place for Mole to be is underground in his burrow. But it's been a long time since he's seen his friend Rabbit, so he tunnels through the ground to see her, meeting his friends Squirrel and Hedgehog along the way.

The lovable Mole and his friends are back in a delightfully snug story that shows us there really is no place like home.Mole thinks his burrow is small and dark and dull, so he sets off to find somewhere big and bright and beautiful instead.

Finding a new home that suits him just right is not as simple as it seems!

"Hot-diggerty! Whatever's that?" exclaims Mole as he burrows out of the ground one night and catches sight of the moon.

When all of his efforts prove to be in vain, he suddenly notices the moon's in a puddle at his feet and reaches to pick it up...and breaks it. Poor Mole's inconsolable, until he is shown that the moon is not broken at all, but just as beautiful as ever, hanging in the sky like a bright silver coin. And it's not as near as it looks!
