Cheese Belongs to You! - Hardcover

by Alexis Deacon (Author), Viviane Schwarz (Illustrator)

Venture into the untamed world of Rat Law Kids will laugh at this funny, frenetic look at group dynamics from an innovative picturebook team.

Rat Law says that if you're a rat, cheese belongs to you. But there are exceptions. For example, if a big rat wants it, cheese belongs to him. Unless a bigger rat wants it, or a quicker one, or a stronger one. And if a big, quick, strong, scary, hairy, dirty rat wants it, well . . . where does it end? A tumble of cumulative adjectives and a frenzy of hungry critters build up to a final note of politeness in a book sure to satisfy kids' appetites for zany humor.
