by Max Velthuijs (Author)

Synopsis

When a rat comes to live at the edge of their wood, the animals decide they don't like having a stranger in their midst.

As Frog discovers, Rat is intelligent and good hearted, and proves in a series of unexpected emergencies that the other animals have been too quick to condemn him.
