Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Lois Ehlert has a distinctive look to her books. The illustrations in Holey Moley are no exception. The book follows the mole in his underground adventures. I read this with a group of children and they all really enjoyed it but were confused by the illustrations of the mole. They had never seen a creature like this so as soon as we finished the book we looked up pictures of actual moles and found out some mole facts. This book is a great way to introduce a new animal to younger children and to elicit curiosity about creatures that live underground. no reviews | add a review

The pictures were abstract. You have to really look at the pictures to understand them. In the back of the book there's a chart of what each picture was in the book. For example, it would be a picture of an earthworm labeled. On a few pages, the mole is digging under a garden. It has pictures of a variety of vegetables you can grow in a garden with labels as well. This would help students expand their knowledge on vegetables and gardens. The pictures, along with the text, could be extremely beneficial to children who live in the city. It would help them get a better understanding of the life under the grass. ( )
