How Mr. Rat Got His Cheese, Volume 1

In this delightful rhyming book originally used as a teaching tool for vowels in the classroom, Mr. Rat knows that what he wants most in the world is that cheese. Unfortunately, the umbrella ant is living in it. How to get it? He comes up with a cunning plan that will not only get him the cheese, but help his friends the cat, the elf, the inchworm, the otter and, finally, the umbrella ant, along the way. He learns that by being kind and thoughtful and a good friend, everyone can end up happy in the end.This is especially helpful for young children who need to learn their vowels, or for children who have a hard time getting started on reading. This book was originally used in the classroom with children who were having difficulties reading.
