3 out of 5 stars Good, but as we know the best was yet to come....   April 7, 2006

A nice story, the BBC production did it fair too, Phillip Pullman is a very talented writer, and this is a good example of his earlier and shorter works. It makes a great book to read to the kids before you tuck them up for bed, and an adult can enjoy it too.


5 out of 5 stars This book is enthralling.   November 3, 2001

This book is great, I had expected it to be a bit young for me from the cover. But as they say "don't judge a book by its cover" so i didn't. I picked a copy up from the library along with the book tape and sat down to read along with the tape.

The book is all about a little boy in a page boys uniform who knocks on Bob and Joans door. They take him in and all he can tell them about where he comes from is "I was a rat." They take him everywhere: to the police, to the hospital and then to school.

The funniest part is when he is in school and the teacher says "get out your pencils and we shall do some arithmetic" the little boy (who Bob and Joan name Roger!) has already learnt the word pencil, and as he was a rat before he likes to eat them. So he says to himself "I've just learnt a new word! Arithmetic means a snack"

I really recommend you read this amusing book and I hope it brings a smile to your face (whether young or old) like it did to mine.

Thankyou Phillip Pullman for writing this book
Keep writing more.
