Product Description

Product Description

In this fantastic and funny picture book Margaret Atwood offers a deliciously ridiculous tale about the virtues of resisting restrictions. Rude Ramsay has reached the end of his rope! Sick of eating rock-hard rice, wrinkled ravioli, and raw rhinoceros, Ramsay and Ralph the red-nosed rat resolve to leave their rectangular residence in a quest for more refreshing repast and to prove that the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. With lots of 'r's' to help the story roll along, Margaret Atwood's rollicking text, combined with Dusan Petricic's lively art, make this book a real treat for Margaret Atwood fans, old and new.

4.0 out of 5 stars R YOU READY FOR A LAUGH PROVOKING STORY?, 11 Oct 2004
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood certainly needs to introduction to readers - young or old. In addition to her bestsellers, the latest being Oryx and Crake, she has penned four other children's books.

This time out she has more fun than most can imagine with the letter R. There was a fellow named Rude Ramsay who "resided in a ramshackle rectangular residence with a roof garden, a root-cellar, and a revolving door." He had a passel of revolting relatives named Ron, Rollo, and Ruby.

Ramsay did have one friend, "Ralph the red-nosed rat." When living with his kin became too much for Ramsay, Ralph suggested he move on, so he followed Ralph to a field of raspberry bushes and radishes. However, Rillah, the owner of the radish field doesn't take too kindly to Ramsay pilfering her radishes. She's a pretty miss who once was wealthy but is now down on hr luck.

As in all good stories, there's a happy ending here for Ramsay, Ralph, and Rillah. Dusan Petricic's outrageously funny illustrations are a joy to behold. Just try reading this without bursting into laughter.

- Gail Cooke
