A delightful twist on a classic fairytale story. A down-on-his-luck mouse is swallowed by a wolf only to find out that things are pretty good inside the wolf's stomach. And in fact, there's someone inside it already- a duck who's living large and living it up! A lovely little story from Mac Barnett with the classic charm of Jon Klassen's illustrations!
