" I love this series. The chapters are short yet somewhat connected to each other. The books are short and my daughter and I often read them in one sitting. We are working on reading the rest in the series. "

" Sweet series about two neighbors and friends..like Frog and Toad "

" I was surprised that Son was engaged. We only read one chapter a night, and the pictures are pretty obscure. But the sweet and simple story with some repetition held his interest, even at three years old. "
— Tanya, 8/17/2012 -
" 32 months - this is a cute story about learning to appreciate and adapt to other people's needs and differences to be a better friend. "
— Heather, 4/2/2012 -
" In the vein of Frog and Toad. Though Mole is less crotchety (and therefore less amusing) than Toad. "
