Part of the Bat, Cat & Rat series
Three friends struggle to agree on vacation plans, leading to mischief and unexpected solutions.
Bat, Cat, and Rat are roommates with a problem: their Vacation Jar is empty, and they can't agree on a destination. Bat craves adventure, Cat seeks relaxation, and Rat just wants peace. As they work odd jobs to fund their trip, Rat's playful nature stirs up trouble. When planning hits a standstill, Rat takes charge. Can he find a compromise that satisfies everyone? Join this quirky trio on a journey filled with laughter, pranks, and the ultimate test of friendship.
In the second book in the Bat, Cat & Rat picture book series from New York Times bestsellers Ame Dyckman and Mark Teague, the roommates try to compromise on vacation plans in three-and-a-half sweet and silly stories. Bat, Cat, and Rat decide they need a vacation, but planning a trip is no picnic. Conflicts, compromise, and some well-meaning pranks ensue as prep work brings out the trio’s mischievous side. In “Working,” Bat, Cat, and Rat discover their Vacation Jar is empty, and set off working odd jobs to save up funds. But Rat believes that all work and no play is no fun at all–and he knows just the way to fix that. In “Choosing,” the trio can’t decide where to go on their vacation. Bat wants an adventure, Cat wants some R&R, and Rat just wants everyone to stop bickering about it. In “Vacationing,” Rat takes the vacation planning into his own hands. Will he be able to come up with a compromise that makes everyone happy? Bat, Cat, and Rat’s dynamic friendship and amusing antics are sure to have readers laughing.
