This beginning chapter book of four chapters is a fast moving, realistic story of friendship with illustrations interspersed throughout the text, sometimes three per page.
After moths made holes in Moles clothes Mouse tries something “new” at the diner for lunch. Followed by Mole buying a “new” style of shirt. Then the friends go fishing together. Mole uses a worm for bait because he likes to eat worms himself and Mouse uses cheese for the same reason. When they don’t catch anything but an old tire, they play in the pond. In the end, Mouse fixes Mole’s old holey clothes making them “new” and Mole uses the old tire to make a “new” swing.
