Meeny and Miney Mole are quite content in their underground home where, dark was light, day was night, and summer and winter seemed the same. When their little sister Eeny, on her burrowing expedition, hears from other below-ground creatures that possibly in Up Above all is not the same, her sisters dont want to listen. But Eeny cant help but wonder, and one day she digs up and reaches the world above. There she discovers light, day, and spring. The text is carefully constructed, with thoughts building upon one another and reality clothed in poetic contemplation. This is also a book of opposites, of questions, and of astonishing answers. While the narrative tends to be heavily controlled, the watercolor illustrations lighten the overall effect. The characters have such full and individual personalities, and the vision of all the rooms visited is so complete, that readers will be drawn into each earth-brown picture. Young Eeny is especially engaging as she pulls her doll in its acorn wagon, a shovel by her side, energy and innocent determination in each stride. A notable effort by both author and illustrator.
