Bookroo's summary
Jake, the self-proclaimed fastest mouse, races through the forest, taunting a cat, a fox, a wolf, and a bear. His boastful cries echo, 'Can't catch me!' But as clever Old Tom Cat plots, will Jake's speed be enough to escape? With each encounter, the stakes rise, leading to a surprising twist. Will Jake's confidence be his downfall, or will he outsmart his pursuers? This mischievous tale, filled with energetic illustrations, invites readers to join the chase and discover if speed truly conquers all.
From the publisher
A cheeky tale follows a speedy mouse as he taunts a progression of hungry animals – with a wickedly funny final twist. “I’m the fastest mouse in the world!” Jake claims. “I’m like the wind. I am faster than lightning!” But will speed alone keep boastful Jake from being caught by a cat, a fox, a wolf, or a bear? “Can’t catch me!” he shouts. Well, clever Old Tom Cat will just have to see about that. . . . Expressive and energetic illustrations pair with a fun cumulative text in a mischievous story that begs to be read aloud.
