Who Let the Mongoose Loose?

By William H. Tyler

The forest animals are all atwitter. Theyve heard theres 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 dont want any part of that battle.

Written in lively verse with 25 colorful illustrations, 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; thats 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 realityrapidly leading to the absurd belief that The world is actually turning inside out!.
