A charming circular story where the tiniest animal just might be the most powerful.

When the Elephant walks, he scares the Bear. When the Bear runs away, he scares the Crocodile. When the Crocodile swims for his life, he scares the Wild Hog . . . and so on, down to the Mouse. And who could be scared of the little Mouse? The last spread answers this question in a way that will delight small children-and the endearing animals, rhythmic text, and hilarious illustrations will make this book a favorite.

“An unpretentious, thoroughly engaging book. . . Just right for use with preschoolers.” —The Horn Book

“The expressions on their faces, the body language, and details are priceless. Kasza brings delicious humor to this wonderfully simple tale. . . . A gem to share.” —Kirkus Reviews, pointer review

“Young children will giggle at the absurdity of the conclusion of this humorous story. . . Sure to be a poopular choice for preschoolers and beginning readers.” —School Library Journal

“Kasza ( The Wolf’s Chicken Stew and The Pigs’ Picnic ) fills her pictures with amusing details that children will appreciate along with the simple story. Especially entertaining are the expressions on the animals’ faces.” –Publishers Weekly
