What is The Jungle Run about?

The jungle animals are gathering for an exciting race, and Cub is eager to join in. But when the other runners see how small she is, they laugh and tell her she is too little to compete. Cub refuses to give up. As the race begins, she uses her speed, cleverness and determination to tackle every twist and turn. Can this tiny runner surprise the bigger animals and prove that being small can sometimes be the greatest advantage?
