OMG, mice racing squirrels to win over a princess? Racing for Pintorella is absolutely bonkers in the best way! The rhymes are so fun, the illustrations are dreamy, and the whole story feels like stepping into a fairytale carnival. My favorite part? The surprise hero who swoops in to save the day. Seriously, this is a total must-read for kids—and for grown-ups who still believe in a little magic. 🐿️🏁👑
