Description

A riotous and touching tale of a homeless brown rat by a Kate Greenaway Award winner. Sometimes when Rat is tucked into his crisp packet, he looks up at all the cosy windows and wonders what it would be like to live with creature comforts, to belong to somebody. To be an actual pet. A charming story with a hilarious twist and the inimitable stylish illustrations of Lauren Child.

Awards

Winner of Smarties Book Prize 6-8 Category 2002 and Smarties Book Prize Gold Award 2002. Shortlisted for LA Kate Greenaway Medal 2003 and Kate Greenaway Medal 2003.
