A very small mouse sets out to find something special―the biggest
creature in the world.
Along her journey, she meets a menagerie of animals who want to join her
in her quest, including a frog, a badger, and a tiger. She visits lakes,
rivers, woods, and even climbs a mountain and stops by a zoo. Finally,
she arrives at the ocean. Will she finally find the biggest animal of
all?
From the world-renowned team of author Brian Patten and illustrator
Nicola Bayley, this gentle story is a celebration of the world's wide
variety of living creatures. While the poetic text and cumulative tale
treatment pull readers along, the gorgeous colored pencil art will have
little ones lost in the wonders of the natural world.
