Pie-Rats!

Sailing the high seas, this merry band of pie-rats have only one thing in mind and it isn’t gold doubloons or jewels or chests of treasure. No, the only thing they want to find is pie, pie, pie, pie! They have their spoons and forks at the ready. They fight their way through wind and rain storms with high seas and crashing thunder, but they never waver from their mission—pie, pie, pie, pie! Finally, they see an island—a desserted island! At last! But when they land, they find that some scallywags have beaten them to the pie. There is none left for the pie-rats. But is pie all there is that can satisfy these critters?

Author Lisa Frenkel Riddiough has written a rollicking, rhyming text filled with humor that will have young listeners shouting the refrain along with the pie-rats. Illustrator David Mottram fills every page with silly characters and funny details that will help to keep young listeners engaged with their eyes on the pages as they follow the pie-rats on their mission. This will have youngsters asking to have it read over and over.
