Pet Shop Racers: Need Fur Speed - by C S Jennings Hardcover

Book Synopsis

Narwhal & Jelly meets The Mouse and the Motorcycle in this action-packed, hilarious graphic novel series perfect for early and reluctant readers ages 5-9.

Ham and Shelby are the perfect racing team. Too perfect--Ham is bored. But what will they do when their racecars are stolen--by a CAT?!

Shelby and Ham are the greatest team in pet shop racing history! But . . . so are all the other pet shop racing teams. Ham is sick and tired of races that end in ties.

Luckily--er, unluckily?--there's a problem: The hobby shop's new cat is holding their cars hostage. Will their feline foe, and a new friend with ideas for outsmarting her, be enough to shake things up?
