Reach for this book when your child is feeling the ache of a long week without a playdate or is struggling with the isolation that bad weather can bring. It is a gentle balm for little ones who are learning that physical distance from friends doesn't mean the friendship has faded, and that the anticipation of a reunion can be an adventure in itself. Mole misses his friend Rabbit, who is stuck indoors due to the rain. Choosing to take matters into his own hands, Mole begins tunneling toward her home, picking up a few other lonely neighbors along the way. While the group searches for a physical treasure to bring Rabbit, they eventually realize that their presence is the true prize. It is a cozy, low-stakes story perfect for preschool and early elementary children who value loyalty and the simple comfort of a shared afternoon.
