We the reader cheer our hero, the rat (is that possible??) as he weaves story after story to save his life. We cheer because he cleverly weaves tales we recognize, yet the cast of characters now resemble the rat's extended family. Hugely entertaining.
publisher summary(s)
When he is captured by two of the queen's cats, Bob the rat prolongs his life by sharing fresh-baked cookies and stories of his ancestors, whose escapades are remarkably similar to those of well-known fairy tale heroes.
In an attempt to stop two hungry cats from eating his tail, Bob the Rat puts a clever plan into motion that includes a plate of homemade cookies and an array of colorful tales that are certain to entertain even the most unreceptive audience. Reprint.
ONCE UPON A time, in a grand castle, there lived a rat named Bob, who was fond of baking and wild about reading. So begins Bob’s quest to save himself from being eaten by Muffin and Brutus, the Queen’s cats. How does Bob attempt to escape their claws? By telling them fractured fairy tales about his whole rat family (and feeding them cookies).
