That Pesky Rat
Author(s): Lauren Child
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.
