Rude Ramsay and the Roaring Radishes (Book & CD)

by Margaret Atwood (Author), Dusan Petricic (Illustrator)

Synopsis

In this fantastic and funny picture book Margaret Atwood offers a deliciously ridiculous tale about the virtues of resisting restrictions. Rude Ramsay has reached the end of his rope! Sick of eating rock-hard rice, wrinkled ravioli, and raw rhinoceros, Ramsay and Ralph the red-nosed rat resolve to leave their rectangular residence in a quest for more refreshing repast and to prove that the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. With lots of 'r's' to help the story roll along, Margaret Atwood's rollicking text, combined with Dusan Petricic's lively art, make this book a real treat for Margaret Atwood fans, old and new.

Media Reviews
Margaret Atwood cleverly spins an engaging yarn This romping exercise in clever, tongue-twisting wordplay is a lot of fun, and the illustrations by Dusan Petricic are a riot Orlando Sentinel, September 2004 In lesser hands such an alliteration might prove redundant, but Atwood's prose is both amusing and enlightening in its use of rich vocabulary, with phrases such as rumpled rucksack, raggedy ravens and rancid remnants of reeking rhinoceros.
