Zdenek Miler's wonderful animations about the sweet-sweet Little Mole were the first films Frida Viola ever saw - and she still loves them. Both A and I saw the films when we were kids too - but somehow forgot about them, so we were happy to refind this treasure. The animations are very beautiful with all their fantastic patterns and colours, and the narrations are friendly, funny and often about friendships and helping each other out. The stories about the Little Mole have recently been published in Danish by Politikens Børnebøger, and when I found them on sale I didn't hesitate a second to buy them. We have used them as gifts in the girl's Christmas stockings, and as you see in the photos Molly also loves the colourful illustrations.
Photos are from the very classic "How Little Mole Got His Trousers", 1960, "Little Mole and His Little Car", 1962, and "How Little Mole Made Mouse Well Again", 1993.
We have one of those books and the films as well. So timeless and lovely. "Little Mole" and "Barbapapa" are great favourites of our two boys :)
ReplyDeleteÅh den lille muldvarp havde jeg glemt alt om! Den så jeg også som barn - eller læste - jeg kan ikke huske det, men jeg kan huske at jeg har set den som barn. Jeg må da vist ud og finde en ekstra julegave til Carla. Håber I er blevet raske. Kram Ida
ReplyDeleteIda - Ja, historierne er så fine! Det er Anders' mor, der har købt filmene til Frida Viola - jeg tror, hun har fundet dem i Fona. Og bøgerne fandt jeg meget billigt i Netto (!), men de kan fås i en almindelig boghandel. Det er et hyggeligt gensyn.
