About this deal

Lift the flaps and join in the fun with Mole's Spectacles , a brilliant story in the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood preschool series by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo . On my next visit on the 1st May she was able to tell parts of the story because of frequent reading. Of course losing glasses may very well be a worrying and sad time, but must this be presented as the default response for a child learning about this scenario?

Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which together have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over one hundred languages. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Mole's Spectacles joins the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood which have been delighting parents and children for over twenty years. I would say cats cookbook is the best of the collection (lol this is my life now, judging the rhyming merits of baby books, when did that happen) - this one is one of the weaker ones. What if my glasses were never found - am I supposed to feel worried and sad and comfort eat for all time?Being sad and worrying is okay and it is important to validate children’s feelings even when their feelings don’t seem proportionate to the scenario. Axel Scheffler is a star illustrator whose instantly recognizable, warm and witty illustrations have achieved worldwide acclaim and numerous awards. Axel is the illustrator of wonderful novelty, gift and poetry books for Macmillan, such as Fish Who Dream of Trees (Two Hoots) and the bestselling The Bedtime Bear , The Tickle Book and Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes – and of course, he is the illustrator of some of the world's best-loved picture books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child , which together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide.

This story’s emphasis on worry, sadness, comfort eating and all of that being solved by finding the lost glasses (that in the real world may never be found) sends a superficial message, and in fact destructive way, of coping with life’s challenges and losses.You can read about more adventures from Acorn Wood in other titles from the series such as Cat’s Cookbook and Rabbit’s Nap. Lift the flaps and join in the fun with Mole's Spectacles, a brilliant story in the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood preschool series by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Mole’s Spectacles joins the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood which have been delighting parents and children for over twenty years. Stories that we read our children leave impressions on them, and teach them things about the world we live in, even when we don’t realise it or dismiss them as “simply stories”. The books are wonderful, interactive in a variety of ways, are inclusive/diverse with a variety of subjects.
