About this book
I woke up this morning and what did I see?
A white-whiskered rat looking straight back at me!
With scratchy pink paws and a pointy pink nose
It was dressed in some raggedy baggy old clothes
When suddenly SQUEAK! It jumped over my toes!
QUICK! CATCH THAT RAT!
The cheeky rodent dodges the postman and granny and shoots up the chimney, followed closely behind by the old lady and the postal worker!
The builders on the roof can’t stop it, and neither can the bus driver or the pilot of a plane!
When at last a friendly alien intervenes and shows everyone the RIGHT way to catch a rat, a touching friendship blossoms!
Caryl Hart says: “Catch That Rat is based on a TRUE STORY! Our postman really DID try to catch a white rat in his postbag and my daughter really DID give chase with her fishing net! However, I can neither confirm nor deny whether the rest of the chase unfolded as I have described.. you’ll have to make up your own mind about that!”
