Mouse & Mole – The Secret of Happiness
Book Review
I think the secret to happiness is being nice to your friends
I liked the illustrations they look like they’ve been done with colouring pencils and they are detailed.
I like the characters as they are serious and funny at the same time, they are also a bit silly.
I loved all three stories because they’re all different.
I think the secret to happiness is being nice to your friends.
Thank you for giving me this book.
About the Book
From the creative duo behind Mouse & Mole, this book contains a trilogy of charming stories about these endearing characters. This collection has a theme of friendship and will charm the adults reading the stories as much as the children listening in.
The Secret of Happiness Mole dreams that he finds the secret of happiness and wakes a grumpy Mouse to tell him, but then Mole instantly forgets! Mole spends all day trying to remember, bringing Mouse and all their friends to join his search, but will he manage to discover the secret again?
This Way and That Mole sets off for a walk going this way and that, but Mouse keeps asking him to run errands for him. But why is Mouse making Mole run these seemingly useless errands, and will Mole ever be able to go for his care-free wander?
A Good Read Mouse and Mole sit down for a good read, but Mole can’t stop fidgeting and distracting Mouse. Whether it’s finding a place to sit, having hiccups, itching and scratching or yawning, Mole just can’t stay still.
