Moletown

This is a story told by page sized illustrated pictures. The book starts out with an illustration of an open green field with one mole hole. They blow holes through the ground with a cannon and dig tunnels with a drill attatched to the front of a train. The town grows to be a vast city with a subway and a city square reminiscent of Times Square. The moles have evolved into clothes wearing citizens with mountains of work on their plates. Their simple dirt homes are now stuffed full and filled with modern day electronics. Up top, the green field has greatly suffered. This book makes it easy for kids to see how progress affects the natural world around us.

The illustrations in the book are very detailed and clearly tell a story without the use of words. The message behind this book is one that we all need to take to heart.
