A boastful little mouse, Jake, runs away from Old Tom Cat and several subsequent beasts all hoping to make him a meal. Taunting one animal after another, Jake runs all the way around the world, only to end up right where he began, and at the feet of a now clever Old Tom Cat. Filled with lively illustrations, this book helps to capture the importance of humility and proper respect.
