Scared you! This little mouse thinks he's the bravest animal around, but it seems that he's not the only one. . .
All the animals are keen to show off their bravery—from the crocodile with his mighty jaws, to the tiger with her scary claws! But who will be the bravest of them all?
[…] there are not many children anywhere who won’t be delighted to feel the suspense and then bellow out the release. [...] A natural as a high-volume storytime ice breaker or lagniappe.

Another winner from Nobrow and Flying Eye Books! The illustrations are always top notch. This title's bright simplistic images are appealing to the eye and sure to delight the picture book crowd.
