A team of wild animals and a team of farm animals have a tug-of-war. When Mouse joins the wild animal side, they pull the farm animals over the line.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a quick, fun read-aloud that even the youngest readers can handle on their own, this one delivers. The premise is simple wild animals versus farm animals in a tug-of-war but there's a sweet twist when teeny-tiny Mouse decides to join the wild side and tips the whole game in their favor. Kids love the humor of seeing big strong animals get beaten by a creature no bigger than their paw, and the straightforward text makes it perfect for early readers building confidence. It's a great choice for animal lovers and kids who enjoy stories with a clever underdog moment. If your little one liked this, they'll probably have just as much fun with similar books about animals teaming up or outsmarting bigger foes.
