AND NOW FOR CHILDREN'S HOUR
The Story Of The Little Mole Who Knew It was None Of His Business.
by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch David Bennett, Publisher.
Going through the motions takes on a new meaning in the funniest natural
history book of the year. Written for children just beginning to read,
Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch recount the tale of an angry mole
hunting down the perpetrator of a foul crime, the animal that
"did it's business" on the mole's head.
Interrogationg passing animals, who obligingly excrete to prove
that the dropping is not theirs, the mole enlists the aid of experts
- two flies that feast on the dung - and exacts it's revenge.
The Story Of The Little Mole will appeal to scatological children
everywhere and will add zest to country walks. The only problem fpor
parents is that they will tire of the joke long before the intended
audience does.
