Despite the subtitle, the grammar lesson here is so subtle that it doesn't intrude on the fun. Hunter and hunted streak past alarmed sheep and goggle-eyed horses, disturb bees and fish, and root birds from their tree, until this chase ends and another begins. Brightly colored double-page spreads humorously capture the dual perspectives of the panicked mouse and the sharp-toothed fox.
