Tiger has been acting like a bully, but Rat shows him how important it is to share and play fair. Rat and Tiger are best friends. They have lots of fun playing together, even though when they play cowboys, Rat always has to be the bad guy. When they share a snack, Rat always gets the smaller piece. But one day, Tiger takes the bullying too far, and Rat decides that he's not going take it anymore. Rat stands up for himself and refuses to be Tiger's friend until Tiger learns to play fair and square. With appealing illustrations and a simple text, Keiko Kasza delivers an important message about friendship in this heartwarming story.
Finally! A book with a moral message AND it's a good read!

Excellent book! My 5 year old LOVES this book. He said to his father and I, "when we go to the library, let's just tell them we are going to buy it". We are now searching the net for a good price, and we're not even waiting for Christmas to give it to him!
I'm just a little rat, but a smart one!

A wonderful book. Even though the story and language level are simple, the book addresses several valuable themes for children and has led to discussions with my kids about sharing, empathy , and the ability to stick up for yourself, even if you are "just a little rat". Both my three year old and my one and a half year old have enjoyed this book and other books by this author.
