Age 3 and over
. The Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business is, quite simply, one of the funniest books you are ever likely to read (as long as you are not easily offended, that is!), with its unusual take on a natural bodily function combined with a simple tale of nature and discovery.
When the little mole of the title discovers a pile of, well, pooh, on his head, he is absolutely certain that it doesn’t belong to him, but sets out on a mission to discover who exactly the culprit really is. His investigation takes him into the world of many animals, as he wanders and compares the pile on his head to the piles that animals leave behind them.
Outrageously funny, this cracking little book is an absolute delight and not only gives children the chance to talk about one of their favourite topics for discussion, but is also an intriguing way of introducing the idea of a nature trail, taking them on a trip that will leave them both laughing and learning.
Perfect for children,of course, but if you are stuck for gift ideas for the adults in your life you may need to look no further. —Susan Harrison

A scatological masterpiece. –The Guardian
Jamie Oliver’s favourite bedtime story. –Metro
The Story of the Little Mole has been keeping poo obsessed children, and grown-ups, entertained for over a decade. Someone poos on a mole’s head and he goes around all the animals seeing whether it comes from them, and learning about their poo in the process. Parents can always pretend it is just of scientific interest. –The Independent
