Venado, an arrogant deer that is always boasting about his speed and strength, is challenged to a race by Sapo, a wily toad. Venado is confident that he'll win the race. After all, he is the largest deer in the jungle and has the longest and swiftest legs. All the jungle's inhabitants - including the jaguar, the toucan, the tapir, and the armadillo - gather to watch this unlikely competition. With his quick wit and the help of his friends, will the toad be able to defeat his adversary? Domi brings her signature brilliant palette and charming humor to the illustrations. |
