Mole's Apartment DIY Book Nook Kit 11 in by Wizardi F07M5-38-DY01

A cosy underground burrow beneath an arched roof woven with green vines and leaves, where a fox, a hedgehog and a squirrel peer in from the top: inside, curved earthen walls in warm yellow and brown hold a kitchen with jars, a stove and a cupboard, a little bedroom with a striped quilt, and a lower room where mole and rabbit friends gather round a table by the fireplace under a Welcome to Home sign. The side panel shows a basket of woodland treats.

A little crafter's folklore: in woodland tales, a burrow with the fire lit means friends are always welcome, and miniaturists like to switch on the light so the animals can have supper.

Why this kit: if you love storybook animals, this is a warm, characterful nook with a whole woodland family and a soft glow, a satisfying 3 hour build.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the book nook case and the multi-level scene, printed figures, signs and side-panel artwork, tiny props, an LED light with a touch switch and battery box, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of the Wizardi storybook book nook series in the same tall upright case, made to stand between your books like a lit volume of its own, so shops, homes and fantasy rooms line up on one shelf. Build tip: build the scene floor by floor from the bottom up, route the light wire as you go and test the touch switch before closing the side panels, then add the roof details last. Pair it with the Grandfather's Antique Store and Azure Phoenix Lodge book nooks.

Size: 11 x 18 x 26.8 cm (4.3 x 7.1 x 10.6 in), 253 pieces, about 3 hours to build. A statement bookshelf insert that glows between your books at night, and a memorable gift for readers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
