Little Mole's Christmas Gift

Little Mole's Little Gift by Glenys Nellist, and illustrated by Sally Garland, is a lovely follow up to Little Mole Finds Hope. It was going to be the best Christmas ever because Little Mole had found the perfect gift for Mama: the biggest, most beautiful mushroom he had ever seen. But on his way home, Little Mole encounters other woodland friends in need. Though it pains him to do so, Little Mole shares pieces of his mushroom with each friend he meets until there's not much left. Disappointed and anxious about what this means for Christmas, Little Mole wraps what's left of the mushroom. He fears Christmas is ruined, but ultimately, Little Mole discovers that his gift was bigger than he ever imagined. Recommended for ages 4 to 8 years.
