Children's Picture Book August Book of the Month

Cyril and Pat

by Emily Gravett

Cyril is the only squirrel in Lake Park, and he's very lonely. Until one day he meets Pat - 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 says 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.

A gorgeous picture book reminding readers that it's OK to be friends with people who are different from you - guaranteed to entertain children and adults alike.  Available for £6.29 throughout August 2019 (RRP £6.99).
