You might think a book with absolutely no pictures would be serious and boring. But here is the secret rule of this book: the person reading it has to say every single word written on the page. Exactly as it is written.
That means if the book says BLORK or BLUURF, the reader has to say it out loud. Even if the words force them to sing a ridiculous song about eating ants for breakfast, or make them shout goofy sounds like GLIBBITY GLOBBITY, they have no choice. The rules are the rules.
Get ready for a wildly funny reading experience that turns any grown-up into a comedian. This clever and irresistibly silly story proves that you do not need illustrations to have a hilarious adventure. It is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud and begging to hear it read again and again.

Meet a clever young rat who loves nothing more than a good puzzle. While the rest of his furry family is busy chewing, scurrying, and playing normal rat games, he is always thinking up tricky new riddles to test his friends. His unusual hobby makes him stand out from the pack, and not everyone understands why he spends his time playing with words instead of cheese.
But when a sudden crisis threatens the entire rat community, ordinary skills are not enough to save the day. It turns out that a sharp mind and a talent for quick thinking are exactly what the colony needs. This fast-paced story shows how being different can be your greatest strength, especially when you use your unique talents to help the people you care about.
