The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business
This picture book tells the tale of a little mole who wakes up one morning only to have one of the other animals "do its business" on his head. The mole then sets out to track down the culprit to exact his revenge in his own little way. The Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business is, quite simply, one of the funniest books you are ever likely to read (as long as you are not easily offended, that is!), with its unusual take on a natural bodily function combined with a simple tale of nature and discovery.

This book is intended to help students bridge the gap between elementary materials, with their carefully controlled and limited vocabularies, and intermediate to advanced materials. It has been found that vocabulary presents a major problem at that particular moment in a student's progress. He has presumably become familiar with most of the grammatical patterns of the language. With the exception of unusual idioms, his main problem henceforth will be the enlargement of his word stock, both oral and written, active as well as passive.
