The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business - Werner Holzwarth

...look no further, below is the answer.

Childrens books seem to cover a wide range of subjects these days from the educational to the downright disgusting. This book is both of the above but more then that it is incredibly funny.

We start off with the little Mole, he decides to take a peek above ground when a large sausage shaped thing lands on his head. Of course he's extremely angry and demands to know who could do such a thing. Being a mole he can't see anyone to blame so he goes searching for the culprit.

Okay, who among you are sick of reading serious books? How many of you want a little light relief from War and Peace? Who wants to have a good old laugh with a little bit of toilet humour (literally). Well look no further, below is the answer.

Childrens books seem to cover a wide range of subjects these days from the educational to the downright disgusting. This book is both of the above but more then that it is incredibly funny.

First a warning. If you are of a nervous disposition or have a weak stomach then steer well away from this book. If however like me you have a wicked sense of humour that you share with your children then you will love it.

This book deals with a sensitive subject that many parents don't like to talk about but most kids find very funny. Poo!! Yes you read it right. Now why someone decided to right a book about this subject is beyond me but all the same they did and this is the story...

We start off with the little Mole, he decides to take a peek above ground when a large sausage shaped thing lands on his head. Of course he's extremely angry and demands to know who could do such a thing. Being a mole he can't see anyone to blame so he goes searching for the culprit.

The first animal he meets is a dove that happens to fly past, angrily he asks her if she had done this to him. Of course she hasn't and she shows him just how she does it. A white blob drops from the sky and splashes the little mole on his leg.

Next he meets a horse and asks the same question but again he gets the same reply and a demonstration of how the horse does it. These look like apples and just miss the mole but he is impressed all the same.

So his search goes on and all the while the sausage still sits on his head. He meets a hare and again asks if it were he who was responsible, only to get a demonstration of just how a hare does it. He has to leap out of the way as fifteen little round beans shoot past him.

He comes across a goat next who shows him that hers are not sausage shaped but toffee coloured little balls so she can't have been responsible.

Next (my favourite) is the cow, now this is really going to make you go yuk!! When asked if it did it the cow proves it's innocence by dropping a sloppy green pancake onto the grass. Needless to say the little mole is glad it wasn't the cow.

'Did you do it?' he asks the pig, but again he doesn't find the culprit as the pig plops a soft, smelly pile onto the floor.

Eventually he comes across two little flies who are busy eating some.... well, use your imagination on this bit!! Anyway he becomes excited and asks them if they know who did it on his head. They tell him to hold still whilst they examine it. Hmm. Then they tell him it was a dog.

At last he knows and very angrily he goes off in search of Basil the butchers dog. When he finds him what does he do. Well he climbs onto the kennel and returns the favour by dropping his own little sausage on the dogs head.

Happy with himself he jumps back into his hole and goes underground.

This book is very good for holding a childs interest. Not only for the obvious reasons, as we all know how much children delight in telling us about their bodily functions. Well mine do anyway!

It is a very repetitive book with each page starting off with the question 'Did you do this on my head?' and the answer 'Me? No, how could I, I do it like this!'

This makes it ideal for children who aren't too good at reading as they know what to expect and can join in.

The illustrations are very simply drawn but also quite graphic. With some pages showing the poo just as it's hit the ground and others showing the animal in the process of doing it!!

All in all a good book which tackles a little talked about subject without being offensive in any way.

If you get this book expect lots of ewww's, lots of yuks but most of all lots of laughs.
