What a Treasure!
BY JANE & WILL HILLENBRAND
HOLIDAY HOUSE, PRESCHOOL-GRADE 2
Mole has a new shovel and he is digging for buried treasure. But what he finds are treasures for everyone else! He finds a stick and gives it to Bird for his nest. He finds a shell and gives it to Snail for a home. An acorn he gives to Squirrel for his dinner. Finally, he finds a treasure for himself, a friend.
Reviews
This simply told story has what it takes to entertain the youngest story-time audience: eye-catching illustrations; a straightforward, good-natured narrative with some well-placed repetition; lots of digging; and a gratifying ending- plus the bonus of an older sibling (gently) proven wrong. —The Horn Book
[The] mixed-media artwork exudes a lighthearted tone via boldly outlined shapes and sweetly anthropomorphized characters. The varying textures and hues in [Hillenbrand’s] palette add depth and suffuse the proceedings with a happy glow.—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Shines with a feel-good, spare text that goes right to the heart of childhood emotions. —Booklist
