The moving ending is uplifting in its reassurance of the family unit while still promising an astonishing future. And, of course, Yolen’s metaphors are precise and novel. The repeated words, astonishing, complicated, burrowing are lyrical and invite imaginative thinking. The sisters snuffle up tubers, the centipede is addlepated, seasons are clumpy and crumbly, and grass is crinkly. Yolan’s tale is rich in words that are wonderful to hear and read. As Eeny ponders the astonishing things she hears, her sisters prefer to remain in the dark, offering their advice in shocked expressions and reverting to diversions that little ones will find humorous.

Once, “she met a worm who told her the most astonishing thing.” Eeny, the youngest sister, liked to explore, burrowing here and there away from their house. Even the seasons seemed the same down in their cozy home. “In that hole, dark was light, day was night, and summer and winter seemed the same.” Sometimes the sisters went to bed during the day and got up at sunset, or they played all day and night and never slept at all. Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mole Written by Jane Yolen | Illustrated by Kathryn Brownĭown at the bottom of a deep hole in the ground, three sisters-Eeny, Meeny, and Miney Mole kept house. Today’s book also surprises with a little mole making her own discoveries. For more information on Mole Day and this year’s theme: MOLEvengers visit. The association of the chemistry mole and the animal mole came about as a fun way to get kids interested in this area of discovery. One mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s Number of molecules. How many molecules are in that mole? Ah! This is where Avogadro’s Number comes in. Take the water molecule: since its molar mass is 18, one mole of water weighs 18 grams.

This measurement states that for a given molecule one mole is a mass (measured in grams) that is equal to the molar mass of the molecule. we celebrate Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 10 to the 23rd), a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Today’s holiday has a very strict time structure.
