Mouse & Mole: What Might Have Been
Joyce Dunbar and James Mayhew
Graffeg

This book contains three more episodes in the life of the endearing friends Mouse and Mole.

In the first, A Rainy Day, rain makes its presence felt in no uncertain terms and the two creatures decide to try and stop the increasingly irritating precipitation but end up enjoying themselves to much they fail to notice the change in the weather.

Atishoo! goes Mouse, over and over until Mole declares that his friend needs mollycoddling and offers to make him breakfast in bed and generally fuss over him.

But will Mole’s favourite breakfast be right for Mouse? And what about the hot bath he’s promised and the comic? There’s only one way to find out …and then what?

The final tale sees Mouse and Mole considering What might have beens as they attempt to fly their kite one very blustery morning: will they ever succeed in getting it airborne though? Could all the ‘what ifs’ they’ve pondered upon eventually help matters when it comes to kite flying.

Full of warmth and gentle humour that shines through both Joyce’s text and James’ charming watercolour illustrations. If you’ve never tried any Mouse and Mole books, you are missing a real treat.
