Bookroo's summary

Meet a mouse with a colossal ego, convinced he's the bravest of all. He scales heights and faces wild creatures, declaring himself the 'mountain mouse.' But his antics often leave his companions scrambling for cover. As he tackles each challenge, the gap between his perception and reality grows hilariously wide. Will his overconfidence lead to triumph or trouble? Discover the slapstick journey of a mouse whose courage might just be as exaggerated as his tales.

From the publisher

Here is a timely tale of a mouse who thinks he’s a lot braver and better than anyone around him. Undaunted by extreme heights, wild animals, or angry birds, this mouse is determined to conquer every obstacle in his path. He climbs, dives, and does all that he can to prove how brave he is. “I am the mountain mouse!” he shouts when he summits his first not-quite-mountain. And this is usually the warning for his minions to take cover . . . because what they see and what Mountain Mouse sees are never quite the same!

Full of slapstick silliness and adventurous antics, I Am the Mountain Mouse points out how ridiculous a big ego can be . . . in a quite deliciously over-the-top way!
