How to Save Your Tail*: by Mary Hanson

4.0

Bob is a charming, smart, handsome, book-loving rat who is about to be eaten by two large and hungry cats. In order to (literally) save his tail, Bob starts telling stories about his ancestors. All of the stories are variations of famous fairy tales--but with a rat in the starring role, of course. Bob has to keep telling stories to entertain the cats, otherwise he'll be a pre-bedtime snack!

So cute, funny and entertaining. Very original and well-written. The fairy tales are changed to make them more entertaining, but still easily identifiable. Bob is a great storyteller and Hanson does a great job of breaking up the stories with real-time interaction between Bob and the cats. Highly recommended!
