Will his adventure teach him there is no place like home?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRatty, an \u003cstrong\u003eENORMOUS\u003c\/strong\u003e woolly, 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. So, he sets off in search of better things. But when 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans of the BBC's \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Land of the Volcano\u003c\/i\u003e, with insights from entomologist Dr. George McGavin, who was part of the original expedition team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46996007059692,"sku":"9781787418769","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/cce3dce0c0e7d8f001d85a0b56650aab.jpg?v=1763158153","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/rattys-big-adventure-by-lara-hawthorne-9781787418769","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
