Bookroo's summary

A big brown bear roams without fear, unfazed by a moose, a goose, or even a wolf. But when a tiny mouse appears, his courage falters. What makes this small creature so terrifying? Discover the unexpected twist that turns bravery into panic in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

The big brown bear doesn’t care that the moose is on the loose. He doesn’t even care that a bad-tempered goose, a big pig, and a wolf are following him. But a teeny-weeny mouse?
