Ok I'm losing my mind because there was a children's picture book I vividly remember from my childhood in which a mole does a series of tasks for other animal villagers and in the end he is given an award for being "a helpful mole"
And I *thought* the name of the book was "the helpful mole" but the internet is telling me this book does not exist
Less confident in this part, but I vaguely remember it being a series of hole-in-the-bucket style tasks, where the mole needed a new spoon to eat his porridge, and at the end of his helpful mole tasks they awarded him a silver spoon. It was probably British, and I think the art style was somewhat like the Mouse Soup books.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
