A scary hairy rat wants to join in the game. Because of his scary appearance; everyone was afraid of him. The orange cat, and the fat duck and the little bluebird were scared and excluded him from their game and discriminated against him. After a lot of convincing they agreed to let him join in. They found out he was friendly, funny and not scary at all. You can't judge a person by their appearance. A fat cat's stack on a mat; is a hilarious tongue twister for children 4-9 years. Full of laughs, great for reading skills, humour. Great illustrations and a tongue twister that will have everyone in fits of laughter. Lynne believes of the importance of getting small children to learn to read; it's the foundation for their future.
