Little Mole asks, "How big is the world?" His Dad replies, "Why don't you go and find out?" replied his dad. And in this tale for readers 4 to 7, that is exactly what Little Mole does. Along his journey, he repeats his question to a spider, a mouse, and a seagull, but as he roves from the Arctic to the tropics, he gets to find out for himself. With her textured paintings, German artist Britta Teckentrup creates a world of friendly animals and cozy environments.
