About the Author:
Mick Inkpen has been a bestselling children's author for over 25 years. He is one of today's most popular picture book author/illustrators and the famous creator of both Kipper and Wibbly Pig. Mick has won the Children's Book Award for Threadbear and the British Book Award twice, for Penguin Small and Lullabyhullaballoo. Kipper won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film.
From Kirkus Reviews:
With a curmudgeonly rat as his reluctant tour guide, a boy explores a pet store in which all the denizens are for sale. Exotic animals abound; the selection includes a giant tortoise, pelican, platypus, skink, koala bear, and even an anteater. While the boy shops, the little rat desperately tries to convince him that he is the best bargain. `` `Who wants a koala that doesn't like leaves?' said the rat. `Or an anteater that won't eat its ant? I'm not fussy! I'll eat . . . ANYTHING!' '' A portion of the page is missing, as if chomped by the overeager rodent. Inkpen adroitly introduces numerals 110; every animal is priced consecutively from 1 for the rat up to 10 for an entire bag of ``assorted little brown creatures,'' with the ultimate bargain a Komodo dragon for 25. Readers gain a last lesson in addition as they learn that the entire contents of the store can be had for $1.00precisely the amount in the boy's pocket. Colorful, detailed illustrations depict the creatures with realism. Humor, well-placed lift-up flaps and the antics of the rat conspire to make this thoroughly likable.
