Description
Mat, the rat, wearing a hat, puts fish and the nuts in a sheet to take to the elephants.
Quick Summary
This delightfully silly early reader features a rat in a hat doing the most ridiculous thing imaginable, and that perfectly bizarre premise is exactly why kids laugh from the first page. The short, punchy sentences with a satisfying rhythm make new readers feel like reading rock stars while the crazy image of a rat delivering fish and nuts to elephants keeps them grinning the whole way through. If your kid loves the goofy humor of "Elephant and Piggie" or "The Bad Seed," they'll absolutely devour this wacky little tale. Ideal for kindergarten and first graders just starting to read on their own.
