In the fourth book in the Bat, Cat & Rat series from New York Times bestsellers Ame Dyckman and Mark Teague, the roommates bring their own fun to some classic fall festivities in three-and-a-half sweet and silly stories. Fall is here, and it brings a slew of exciting autumnal adventures for best friends Bat, Cat, and Rat, from leaf-raking romps to peculiar pumpkin picking to the trials of trick-or-treating. In “Raking,” falling leaves make for extra chores–and extra pranks. In “Picking,” each member of the trio has their own unique idea about what makes the perfect pumpkin. In “Costuming,” the roommates each work on their costume creations in secret, and the big reveal brings a big surprise! Bat, Cat, and Rat’s irresistible friendship and amusing antics are sure to have kids laughing along.
Ame Dyckman is short, loud, mischievous, and often dresses like her book characters. (SEE?!) She’s also the award-winning, internationally-translated author of the fantastically illustrated (THANKS, illustrators!) picture books BOY + BOT, TEA PARTY RULES, the New York Times bestselling WOLFIE THE BUNNY, HORRIBLE BEAR!, YOU DON’T WANT A UNICORN! (on sale February 14, 2017!), and more picture books and board books in the works! Ame lives in central New Jersey with her family, ridiculously big-eared cat, book collection, closet full of hair dye colors, and of course, the characters from her stories. (For reals! She’s currently building a homemade swimming pool for the protagonist of her upcoming series, MISUNDERSTOOD SHARK—mostly so she can have her bathtub back.) Follow Ame on Twitter (@AmeDyckman), where she posts picture book reviews, goofy poetry, and pretty much everything that pops into her (usually blue-haired, sometimes purple-haired, occasionally green-haired) head.
