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?
