He seems the perfect friend for surly, grumbling Rat. But the two animals are only interested in shouting at each other. "Don't you come near me!" barks Dog, and Rat mutters back, "Fine with me. Don't need friends, don't need 'em at all!" But as this crusty duo soon discovers, everybody needs a friend. Especially during a bitter winter in a junkyard where warmth is hard to find--and a foot-long salami sandwich is a near-miracle. Endearing and sassy, this uplifting story of the importance of companionship will put a smile on even the grumpiest of faces. |
