A laugh-out-loud funny picture book, written by Karl Newson and illustrated by the award-winning Ross Collins.

When Mouse is accused of being an elephant by a passing gecko, a porcupine and a marmoset, Mouse is not impressed. Despite having flappy ears and a pointy nose, this Mouse is definitely NOT an elephant!

But could Mouse be an owl, a sheep, a yak or a cow? Mouse persuades the others that it’s what’s on the inside that counts… and maybe Mouse is actually a Moose?

With vibrant, characterful illustrations, this hilarious follow on to the acclaimed I Am a Tiger introduces a whole new range of animals for the feisty Mouse to bamboozle.

My thoughts were that it was a funny book because in the first book I am a tiger she was complaining that she was a tiger. This is an amazing fiction book it is just a debate about some silly stuff.it interested me because they were a lot of animals she call different things I would recommend the to a year 3 or year 4

I liked all the animals, and the mouse because he was saying he was lots of different things, when he was really a mouse. Then he burped and thought he was a dinosaur which was really funny!

Loads of animals said that the mouse was an elephant but he was not. I rated it low because I didn’t find it very interesting,

I enjoyed this book as it was funny and there was an elephant at the end. My favourite character was the mouse and I recommend other people to read it as it was funny
