Slightly Spooky Tale of Fox and Mole
Slightly Spooky Tale of Fox and Mole
It’s as if Edgar Allan Poe had written a book for children! Fox and Mole find a spooky story spilling into their lives in this autumnal tale for older readers of picture books.
Fox and Mole each live alone on a headland as next-door neighbors. Mole is carefree and self-centered, and Fox is responsible and self-sacrificing.
As autumn draws in, the two friends read a spooky story together (which Mole keeps interrupting) about a racoon who transforms into a scuffling monster (slightly spooky) as Mole eats Fox's cookies (all of them). Fox becomes angry with Mole's selfishness and soon Fox, too, begins to transform...
This unique picture book is The Wind in the Willows meets the Brontës, told in four chapters and promises an immersive thrill for readers aged six and older. Slightly Spooky Tale of Fox and Mole is a cozy, wry, gothic tale for curling up with on long, dark evenings.
