In this beautifully illustrated picture book from Lara Hawthorne, a
mysterious creature from a secluded volcano crater explores the
outside world for the very first time . . . but is it not what he
expects it to be! Will his adventure teach him there is no place
like home? Ratty, an ENORMOUS wooly, vegetarian rat, lives deep
inside the crater of an ancient volcano nestled in the rainforest.
One day, he spies a particularly delicious-looking fruit high in
the treetops, and sets out to reach it. From this high vantage
point a spectacular view stretches before him - the world outside
his mountain crater. In this big outside world, Ratty imagines, the
fruit must be much sweeter, the bird songs more beautiful and the
other animals far more interesting and sophisticated, and so he
sets off in search of better things. But when is he is asked to
attend a dinner party by a crocodile who seems just a bit too
friendly, Ratty realises that perhaps there is no place like home
after all. Inspired by the recent scientific breakthroughs of Mount
Bosavi, in which over 40 new species of animals and plants were
identified, Lara Hawthorne seamlessly combines story and fact in
this picture book which celebrates the diversity of life, and being
thankful for what you have! For fans of the BBC's The Lost Land of
the Volcano, with insights from entomologist Dr George McGavin, who
was part of the original expedition team.
