A spectacle-wearing mole named Morris embarks on a comical adventure to find his way home, encountering unexpected challenges along the way.
In Mrs Mole, I'm Home!, readers are introduced to Morris, a spectacle-wearing mole who finds himself in quite a predicament. Having misplaced his glasses, Morris embarks on a comical journey to find his way back home. With his trusty instincts guiding him, he sets off, determined to reunite with his family and enjoy a tasty dinner of worm noodles. However, without his spectacles, Morris struggles to see where he is going, leading to a series of humorous misadventures that will have readers chuckling along the way.
As Morris navigates through his surroundings, he inadvertently burrows into the home of a hapless rabbit family, creating a delightful mix of chaos and comedy. The story captures the essence of family, adventure, and the importance of home, all while showcasing Morris's endearing personality. The witty storytelling and charming illustrations by Jarvis, known for Alan's Big, Scary Teeth, bring the characters to life and keep readers engaged from start to finish.
Ultimately, Mrs Mole, I'm Home! is not just about finding one's way back home; it's also about the journey itself and the unexpected encounters along the way. Readers will root for Morris as he learns that even without his glasses, he can still find his way back to the warmth and comfort of his family. This heartwarming tale is a reminder that home is where love resides, glasses or no glasses.
Lots of fun to read aloud: hapless Morris has mislaid his glasses and visits a whole host of unexpected animalhomes before finding the right burrow. * The Bookseller *
“Young readers will enjoy Morris’s mistakes and they will particularly love knowing where his glasses are.” April 2017 Picture Book of the Month * LoveReading, Julia Eccleshare *
“For picture-book fans, Jarvis, master of fabulous foolery, returns with Mrs Mole, I’m Home!, a worthy successor to Alan’s Big Scary Teeth. […] this delightfully retro book boasts perfectly judged repetition, an appealing palette of blues and reds, and a running joke about the whereabouts of the missing specs; reading it aloud should trigger instant cries of “Again!”” * The Guardian *
“Jarvis has managed to follow up his hilarious Alan's Big, Scary Teeth with a book that's just as funny. His great storytelling, scratchy artwork and vivid colours combine wonderfully on every page, especially on the last one.” * BookTrust *
“[…] perfect comic timing and whole lot of heart […]” * Parent Talk *
“Mrs Mole, I’m Home is an enjoyable picture book from Jarvis – plenty of quirky twists and turns, all served with a charming sense of humour. Jarvis’s illustrations are warm and rich, and even feature a map… got to love a book map.” * MyBookCorner.com *
