PS
Those cheery minimalist sisters are back. In the first title, they delight in playing at fairies ("flit flit") until it's time to be moles again; in the second, they take a new way home and explore a wonder-filled cave until it's time to go home ("hey ho"). The intimacy of the small, square books is enhanced by the much smaller colored-pencil illustrations and the brief but immediate texts. [Review covers these titles: The Mole Sisters and the Fairy Ring and The Mole Sisters and the Way Home.]
