With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Mole’s Spectacles is the sixth story in the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood series, which features Fox’s Socks, Postman Bear, Rabbit’s Nap, Hide-and-Seek Pig, Cat’s Cookbook and Squirrel’s Snowman. What if my glasses were never found - am I supposed to feel worried and sad and comfort eat for all time?
