Mom's Review
Cute and sweet and eminently relatable - Fox is a very generous friend, sharing his provisions and library and time while Mole is an unselfconscious friend to whom it doesn't occur to reciprocate. When the inevitable eruption comes, Mole is remorseful and immediately makes amends while also expressing his wish that Fox had spoken up about his feelings sooner. The characters are endearing and the mood cozy in the autumnal atmosphere.
As one reads, one begins to resent how Mole takes advantage of Fox's giving nature. But one also questions why fox waits until his breaking point before addressing what is bothering him. The Slightly Spooky Tale of Fox and Mole is a cozy look at navigating relationships with care and with honesty.
