When I was a kid my grandparents bought me comic books to encourage me to keep up with swedish. This book is in the comic book format… I love it still! The illustrator’s name is Zdenek Miler.
you can find one of these books in english here.

Thanks for posting this. The cover is beautiful.
I grew up in the seventies as well but in the former communist country of Bulgaria. I didn’t have a book with the mole, but remember the character from an animation.
The very good Czech traditions in art.
Just came across another Czech illustrator-petr horacek

I know Petr Horacek also, my daughter loves the book Silly Suzy Goose. I am pleased to read it to her because the images and composition are so beautiful.
