Who is the bravest? A mouse, a frog, a snail, and a sparrow decide to find out. But as each announces their daring feat--naysayers tease: "You call that being brave?" They soon discover that 'What's fun for one can be a feat for another.' And when the sparrow announces its plan, they all discover that true courage comes in many different forms. The team who created The Fox in the Library return to America with this very special picture book.
