Zachary is a treat-loving rat who lives under a bakery. Each night, he nabs a single sweet, never too greedy... until one day, he spots a glorious sack of potatoes.

Unable to resist, Zachary takes more and more-without sharing a single bite. His friends warn him, but Zachary ignores them... until the baker notices his stash has vanished, and everything goes hilariously downhill.

Kids who love rhyming, silly stories
Parents and teachers looking for fun tales with gentle lessons
Storytime, bedtime, and fans of The Gruffalo or The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!

With vibrant illustrations and playful rhymes, Zachary and the Great Potato Catastrophe is a charming tale of greed, generosity, and one shrewd little rat who learns that life is sweeter when you share.
