Mole on Patrol

Monty Mole must overcome his fear and swallow his pride when some greedy birds invade Wobbly Toad’s garden in this cute tale of garden animal friends.

Mole on Patrol is a lively story of fun and friendship set in a colourful vegetable patch. Chloe Applin has created four unforgettable characters that inhabit this charming world, Monty Mole, Wobbly Toad, Freda Frog, and their dog, Stephen. One day, a gang of greedy birds swoops in, and the garden friends world is turned upside down. With some quick thinking from Freda Frog, a solution appears. But this solution not only frightens the birds but Monty Mole, too! It takes a wheelbarrow of understanding to convince Monty that he is indeed still the best mole on patrol in this book illustrated with colourful and sweet watercolour paintings.

• Positive messages of sustainability through growing vegetables in a garden.
• Colourful and detailed watercolour illustrations bring Wobbly Toad’s garden to life.
• A story about friends working together, written with warmth and humour.
