Sometimes . . . I look up at all the cozy windows and wonder what it would be like to live with creature comforts . . . to be a real pet. Most of all I would like to have a name  instead of just that pesky rat.  A glamorous life in the lap of luxury like Pierre the chinchilla would be very nice. But really  our heros not that fussy - he just wants to belong to somebody. With his cute  pointy brown face and beady eyes  why cant he get someone to take him home? Even a notice posted at the local pet store seems fruitless  until one day a nearsighted old man stops in and speaks the amazing words: \"Ill take him.\" After all  he says  hes been looking for ages for a brown cat as nice as this.  In her latest tour de force  acclaimed author-illustrator Lauren Child introduces a surprisingly endearing character  and assures young readers theres enough love for all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279950733365,"sku":"ByrdShop_076361873X","price":37.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780763618735.jpg?v=1780616547","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/that-pesky-rat-9780763618735","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
