From the multi-award-winning author of The Night the Monsters Came comes a humorous read-aloud perfect for fans of sneaky rodents and moral mischief.
Zachary is a treat-loving rat who lives under a bakery. Each night, he nabs a single sweet, never too greedy... until one day, he spots a glorious sack of potatoes.
Unable to resist, Zachary takes more and more-without sharing a single bite. His friends warn him, but Zachary ignores them... until the baker notices his stash has vanished, and everything goes hilariously downhill.
Perfect for:
- Kids who love rhyming, silly stories
- Parents and teachers looking for fun tales with gentle lessons
- Storytime, bedtime, and fans of The Gruffalo or The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!
With vibrant illustrations and playful rhymes, Zachary and the Great Potato Catastrophe is a charming tale of greed, generosity, and one shrewd little rat who learns that life is sweeter when you share.
