Mole's Spectacles Get 20% OFF across the Scholastic Shop

Our April 2022 Ages 0-2 Book of the Month

Our pick this month for children aged 0-2 is Mole’s Spectacles, which comes from the bestselling author/illustrator team of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Most famously, they created The Gruffalo together which has sold more than 17 million copies! Mole’s Spectacles is the newest title in their lift-the-flap board book series, ‘Tales from Acorn Wood’.

In this story, Mole has lost his spectacles. He searches in his house, in his garden and even in Weasel’s sweetshop – but they are nowhere to be seen! The brilliant lift-the-flap format allows toddlers to join in the search for Mole’s Spectacles, which, whilst being exciting for them, also helps to develop crucial fine motor skills. As always with Julia Donaldson, this book has a funny and bouncing rhyming text, making it great to read aloud at home.

You can read about more adventures from Acorn Wood in other titles from the series such as Cat’s Cookbook and Rabbit’s Nap.
