Once upon a time there was a rat. Not just any rat, but a daddy rat named Daddypops and his two long-suffering children. Their tummies always rumbled, they were thin and scrawny and craved nothing but the finest stinkiest cheese.
Daddypops had a big brain, and was always coming up with crazy plans to break into the world's finest cheese emporium for a taste of their wares. Disguises didn't work, crazy rat-a-pults were a disaster but what's the one thing rats are really good at? Digging! Time to dig a tunnel directly into the cheese shop for a bumper slap-up cheese feast!
Sean Taylor and Hannah Shaw have come up trumps with a crazy but determined gang of rats aiming for cheesy fortune and stinky glory in this colourful comedic tale. We particularly loved the end-papers, with all sorts of wonderful pongy cheeses laid out tempting you into the book as you join Daddypops and his gallant offspring on a mission for manchego!
Charlotte's favourite bit: Digging under the ground to tunnel directly into the shop (narrowly avoiding floods and floating crisp packets!)
Daddy's favourite bit: A cheesy rat-tastic romp, little fromage-fiends are going to love it!
