Illustrated by
Tomek Bogacki.
Mole and friends Squirrel, Frog, and Bird try to bring the sky to her underground home. The four animals decide "there must be no way to catch the sky," before figuring out "a way for it to visit" (a window). The story isn't particularly exciting, but it does have some clever moments; the critters are oddly proportioned in Bogacki's warm, fuzzy-textured illustrations.
