The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business

The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business is a children's book by Werner Holzwarth, first published in 1989. Written in German, it is built around a small mole and a problem that lands right in his way, with the story moving through his reactions and the odd, comic things he encounters. The book is playful in tone and uses a simple setup that keeps the focus on the situation, the rhythm of the telling, and the visual jokes that support it.

It suits children who enjoy short stories with a clear idea, a slightly offbeat sense of humor, and strong visual character. It can also appeal to adults looking for a picture book that feels lively without being noisy or complicated. Readers who like children's books that rely on timing, repetition, and illustrations as much as plot will probably connect with it. Its feel is close to picture books that tell a small, self-contained story through humor and image rather than through a long chain of events.
