You Can't Catch Me! (Molly, Olive, and Dexter)

Description

Dexter the fox is frustrated when his owl and hare friends keep winning their chasing game--until he remembers that he has a special talent, too.

Dexter the fox loves to play chase with Molly the hare and Olive the owl. But while Molly keeps bounding away on her great big feet and Olive swoops ahead with just a flap of her wings, Dexter simply can't keep up, try as he might. What are foxes good at? In the third book of this gently humorous, gorgeously illustrated series exploring young children's big emotions, award-winning author-illustrator Catherine Rayner brings clever Dexter to the fore as she shows that we all have something important to bring to the game.
