I was born in the late 1960’s. There was a children’s book that had to have been published before 1973 that I remember that had these illustrations it in about either a mole, a rabbit or a mouse whose family lived underground. The book had illustrated cut-aways that showed the ground above, the tunnels going down and their little house down in the earth (like a little kitchen, bed, etc.). For years it has been driving me nuts trying to find this book. So if you have any information please let me know.
Thank you!
Sounds similar to one I am searching for. I bought a book on the seasons of the year at a (Scholastic?) school book fair when I was in the third grade, around 1959. It featured lovely pictures with stories about Nature and small animals living underground (chipmunks?) Hope we both can find our book!
Might it be “Humbug Rabbit”, by Lorna Balian? It was first published in 1974…
House By Mouse By George Mendoza?
I found it! It was an illustrated copy of “The Wind in the Willows”!!!!
Is this the collection with a Chinese panda and her kite festival as well as a family of otters. The one where there’s a paragraph for each day of the year as well as a different animal family each month?
