They may have been swallowed, but they have no intention of being eaten...

When a woeful mouse is swallowed up by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already set up digs, and, boy, has that duck got it figured out! Turns out it’s pretty nice inside the belly of the beast – there's delicious food, elegant table settings and, best of all, dancing. And there’s something more: no more fear of being eaten by a wolf!

Life's not so bad, considering the alternatives. That is, until a hunter shows up... With a nod to traditional fables and a wink to the reader, the award-winning Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, of Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn and Triangle, offer a tale of cooperation and creative cuisine that is sure to go down easy.

Book features :
  • Fans of fractured fairy tales and fables will be satisfied by this delicious addition to the genre
  • The recipient of an incredible SIX starred reviews!
  • From the pairing behind Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn and Triangle
