Mole's Spectacles: A Lift-the-flap Story (Tales From Acorn Wood, 7)

Product Information

As always with Julia Donaldson, this book has a funny and bouncing rhyming text, making it great to read aloud at home. With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Mole's Spectacles joins the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood which have been delighting parents and children for over twenty years. Axel is the illustrator of wonderful novelty, gift and poetry books for Macmillan, such as Fish Who Dream of Trees (Two Hoots) and the bestselling The Bedtime Bear , The Tickle Book and Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes – and of course, he is the illustrator of some of the world's best-loved picture books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child , which together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide. Our pick this month for children aged 0-2 is Mole’s Spectacles, which comes from the bestselling author/illustrator team of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. That being said the illustrations are lovely and you can go through pointing out all the different images on the page which is great and very intricate!

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This story’s emphasis on worry, sadness, comfort eating and all of that being solved by finding the lost glasses (that in the real world may never be found) sends a superficial message, and in fact destructive way, of coping with life’s challenges and losses.She was the UK Children’s Laureate 2011–13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature.

I love these little books for my little one, but some of them are not particularly good for rhyming and this is one of them. Mole’s Spectacles is the newest title in their lift-the-flap board book series, ‘Tales from Acorn Wood’. On my next visit on the 1st May she was able to tell parts of the story because of frequent reading.
