Cyril and Pat
A colourful rhyming picture book story about a brilliant friendship between two very different animals, by bestselling author-illustrator Emily Gravett.
Cyril is the only squirrel in Lake Park, and he's very lonely. Until one day he meets Pat - the big, grey…...other squirrel. Cyril and Pat have lots of adventures and fun together and Cyril is so pleased he's made a friend. But everyone is adamant that Cyril and Pat simply cannot be friends, and they soon reveal why: Pat, as the reader has known all along, is actually a RAT!
But Cyril's life turns out to be a lot duller and quite a bit scarier without Pat by his side, and in the end the two friends learn that some things are more important than being the same, or listening to others.
Rich and colourful, Cyril and Pat is a wonderful rhyming romp through the park from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Emily Gravett.
Emily Gravett has a rare talent for creating exceptional books for children. The winner of two CILIP Kate Greenaway Medals, her skill and wit are second to none. Emily first sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves in 2005, which has been followed by such modern classics as Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Monkey and Me, Again!, and most recently, Tidy and Old Hat. Each book is unique and different from the last - and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily lives in Brighton, England, with her family.
