These are the most adorable characters with vintage style pictures and area please to read aloud to my children.

"If you can catch a falling leaf, you will be lucky for the rest of the year.”

These are just the sweetest stories. Their friendship and love for one another shines through. The stories are endearing and perfect for a calming story before bed. I love the beautiful illustrations. These are timeless stories.

This is a really fun book. It is engaging and will keep children reading each chapter. Also encourages teamwork to solve the problem of the lost glasses.

This was a fun book to read. Each adventure was short, but a real joy to watch unfold. Along the way, we might see someone learn an important lesson. Most kids will have a great time reading this book.

What a pure delight! In a world full of children's picture books that are surface-level and quite simple lies this gem of a title.

Reminiscent of the great Beatrix Potter, yet in a world completely of their own exists Mouse and Mole, two lively characters that offset each other so well.

I loved the storylines which perfectly balance out childlike wonder and comedic timing while engrossing us so effortlessly.

I will absolutely be on the lookout for those two in future publications!

There's an old-fashioned charm to these sweet and gentle tales of two friends who indulge in very quiet adventures. These "adventures" involve lying in a hammock, looking for lost eyeglasses, and trying to catch falling leaves, so some children may be bored. Much of the appeal of the book lies in James Mayhew's charming illustrations.

I love this series. The illustrations are amazing and each volume has always three short stories that are little anecdotes focused on the daily life of two friends, Mouse and Mole. I love that the stories are about things that we usually don't think about but are very relatable. Also has very fun and valuable lessons, making us think. Even when one of them is naughty and tries to trick the other, they solve it without negative feelings. Their friendship is very strong. Lots of imagination and all ages will love this.
Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for this e-Arc.

Three short stories show a friendship between Mouse and Mole. There's gentle teasing, and also kindness as 1) Mouse tries to enjoy a hammock, 2) Mole can't find a particular pair of eye glasses, and 3) the pair try to catch a falling leaf. The stories are sweet and gentle.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Star Bright Books for this ARC in exchange for my review.

Three beautifully illustrated short stories as Mouse and Mole enjoy an adventure with a hammock, find the Right pair of Mole's eyeglasses, have a delightful time in the colorful fallen leaves, and generally have great fun as only good friends can do.
The illustrations by James Mayhew are fun, detailed, brilliant, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Star Bright Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

This is a collection of three short, silly stories perfect for reading to young children. I really liked the friendship between Mouse and Mole. It reminded me of the Frog and Toad books I enjoyed reading as a child. The reader learns about getting along with others, solving problems, friendships, and playing using imagination. At times I felt sorry for Mouse because Mole was always playing tricks on him. My favorite thing about the book was the illustrations. They were amazing! I would note that this book is not considered an early reader because the vocabulary is often hard to read for a young child. It would be best to read to or with a young reader.

Thank you to NetGalley and Star Bright Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Happy Days for Mouse and Mole contains several short stories about friends Mouse and Mole. Mouse is the "straight man" to mole's antics. These stories are gentle and humerous and easy enough for newly independent readers to tackle. The illustrations have a dreamy, serene feel. Not a "must have" for small libraries but a nice addition to bigger libraries that have bigger budgets.

When I saw the cover, I knew I had to read this book. Mouse and Mole are best friends who cohabitate. There’s three short stories in this book. The first one is about Mouse’s new hammock and Mole making sure it’s safe for his friend. The second one is locating Mole’s spectacles. He has spectacles for everything. The third story is about catching a falling leaf and the antics it takes to do so. Whimsical is a good description for these stories and nice illustrations. I enjoyed this book quite a bit and am looking forward to more. I was blessed with an early copy from NetGalley and the publisher. This didn’t influence my review and I wasn’t required to give a favorable review.

This book was cute, but not exactly what I was expecting. I tried to read to my toddler, but they had a hard time staying focused. It wasn't as big of a hit as I thought it would be, but definitely not a bad book.

This is a great book with two pals mouse and mole. They go on three separate adventures that are funny and cute. The illustrations are warm and cozy and the stories are engaging. This book reminds me of so many classic tales and takes me back to my childhood.

This book was so cute and cozy. The illustrations are wholesome and nostalgic. The writing is silly and engaging. I am a bit worried my kids will start leaving half bananas around the classroom and their homes, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I LOVE that there are three stories in this one book. It’s great for days when I can’t quite estimate the attention span of my students. We can just start the book and maybe we only read one or maybe we read them all. It’s a great format!

Such a cute book! The illustrations are wonderful!! Mouse and Mole are enjoying days together while you get to see how they live! This would be a great read aloud or bedtime story during the fall months!

Fantastic art, but that's where my love for this book ended.

After reading these stories, I am left with the impression that Mole is extremely entitled and demanding, while Mouse is a people pleaser who constantly bends over backwards to appease Mole. Their relationship is toxic, or at the very least, it is codependent. This is not something kids should be internalizing as “normal” behavior.

Cute and charming stories, but the illustrations stole the show! Happy Days for Mouse and Mole is comprised of three mini stories where we meet the unlikely best friends Mouse and Mole. Early on we realize that Mole is kind of the mischievous friend and a bit more selfish and needy, and Mouse is the reliable, helpful, patient friend Mole needs. They seemed like unlikely friends but I found them so relatable and matching many duos I know in real life. My toddler loved the stories and we read it over three times!

The illustrations are soft and inviting and they brought me back to some of my favorite classic storybooks.

Thank you NetGalley and star bright books for the gifted copy to read. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

My son and I loved these little short stories. Our favorite was the hammock and showing how tricking people is unkind and leads to negative impacts for yourself. We also laughed at all the spectacles on Moles head.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc. The artwork was adorable and my girls loved the story. It reminded me of a comforting book my grandma would have read to me as child and I found joy in the memories that came flooding back. 5⭐️
