DESCRIPTION : A funny, touching picture book from Children's Laureate, and Charlie and Lola creator, Lauren Child. Rat lives in dustbin Number 3, Grubby Alley. At night, when he's tucked up in his crisp packet, Rat looks up at all the cosy windows and wonders what it would be like to belong to somebody. To be an actual pet. To have a home of his own . . .Gently exploring themes of homelessness and poverty, this is the perfect way to talk about this often tricky subject with young children and encourage them to empathise with others.At least 10% of the purchase price of every copy of That Pesky Rat sold will be donated to St Mungo's Broadway, a charity providing help, support and advice to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.'Clever, rewarding and hugely enjoyable' Guardian'Another little masterpiece from Lauren Child' Mail on SundayWinner of the Nestle Children's Book Prize Gold Award PRODUCT DETAILS : ISBN : 9781408337370 BY (AUTHOR) Child, Lauren PUBLISHER : Hachette Children's Group PUBLICATION DATE : January 28, 2015 COUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom IMPRINT : Orchard Books LANGUAGE : English AGE : Interest age: from c 3 years PRODUCT FORM : Paperback / softback DIMENSION : 268 mm x 230 mm WEIGHT : 220 g PRODUCT CATEGORY : Children’s, Teenage & Educational Show more
