Along the way, she encounters the Fox, Owl, and Snake, each of whom she initially suspects is the fearsome creature. Ultimately, she meets the small, cunning mouse from the first book, who uses his wits to create an illusion that sends her scurrying home, her faith in her father's stories restored. This rhyming picture book is perfect for ages 4-11, offering themes of curiosity, bravery, and the power of cleverness.
