Who Let the Mongoose Loose? - Paperback

by William H. Tyler (Author)

The forest animals are all atwitter. They've heard there's a mongoose loose in their midst. Many of these forest occupants are afraid of the mongoose, who is said to be very brave, very quick, and even faster than its fiercest enemy, the snake. In a fight the mongoose almost always wins, and the animals don't want any part of that battle. Written in lively verse, Who Let the Mongoose Loose Last Night? tells what happens when a feisty mongoose comes to a typical North American forest. The little foreign creature upsets the harmony of a peaceful animal community in an unexpected way. Of course, the mongoose upsets the snake; that's what mongooses do. And when the snake jumps down a hole, that definitely upsets a mole. This sets off a chain reaction among all the skittish inhabitants of the forest. The lively imaginations of the animals defy reality-rapidly leading to the absurd belief that "The world is actually turning inside out!"
