Great math skills as well as a great book

I had to buy my own copy of this book after finding it in the public library and reading it to my Kindergarten class. The children love the story. I usually change my voice to sound like a very cute but annoying rat. The children also get a kick when they see how the rat has eaten part of a page from the book. I use this book every year to teach money skills to my children. The low price tags and good clear pictures make it a must. We add up the cost of all the animals and see if the total is correct. We also give the children different amounts of money to go shopping with in the Pet Store. An excellent investment!!!!!

my son loves this book!

My two and a half year old son loves reading this book! He loves to see the rat on every page, and enjoys discovering the animals behind the flaps. Wonderful ending too. Mick Inkpen is great as usual. We have read this book at least twice a day for the last few weeks!

Wonderful for math skills. Whimsical, humorous get-down fun

Fun and challenging developer of math skills. Wonderful for pet/animal lovers. Best rat character ever. Small children/pre-schoolers will love the pictures and pull tabs. Older school age children will be challenged by the math.
