With plenty of snow, preparation, and some tricks, the big day arrives for Mouse and Mole. It’s another addition to the Mouse and Mole series featuring three delightful short stories.
In “Snowmole,” the two friends are thrilled to see “that the world was white” outside their window. Eager to create something out of the snow, they even eat their porridge outside. Their creation turns into a snowmole, which Mole adores and decides to spend the night outside with. Luckily, thanks to Mouse, Mole is rescued before freezing, and in the morning, he discovers that the snowmole has gained a new friend.
“Lo and Behold” captures the spirit of December as Mole demonstrates impatience while counting down the days before Christmas on the advent calendar. Meanwhile, Mouse is busy wrapping, colouring, and decorating. How does Christmas feel so distant and so close for these two friends?
In “A Bump in the Night,” it’s Christmas Eve. Mole and Mouse are tossing and turning in bed, which leads them to venture downstairs for different reasons. The next day brings a surprise: who is waiting at the front door?
“Lo and Behold! Mouse and Mole” offers festive tales about friendship, patience, hard work, enjoyment, and cherished traditions. James Mayhem presents these classic characters in a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that captures the season’s joy.
These festive stories provoke thought and celebrate the essence of friendship and tradition.
