Folks, I make no bones about the books that I love.  And when I saw that jaw-dropping picture book Lindbergh last year in all its high-flying mousie glory, I knew I was looking at something special.  Now I am so pleased and honored to offer you a quickie peek and glance at German author/illustrator Torben Kuhlmann’s next glorious book.  It’s Moletown (ISBN: 978-0735842083).  And it’s amazing:

Sort of The Lorax by way of The Rabbits, no?  And these interior spreads haven’t even shown you the moles’ intricate underground city.  It’s an absolute jaw-dropper.

The book has the distinction of having a remarkably cool title in its native Germany: “Maulwurfstadt”.  If you know the language you can get some additional information about the book here.

Coming to shelves in America on September 1st!
