Ricky's Rat Gang (I am Reading) - Tapa blanda

This supermarket ain't big enough for the two of us! A load of sugar has been spilt in the supermarket storeroom, which means a sticky feast for Mel, Max and Molly Mouse. But their arch enemies, Ricky and Ronnie Rat, want in on the action. Complete with shades and macs, and armed with water balloons, the gangster brothers raid the store. But the mice aren't going to give up without a fight! With a dastardly plan involving a trail of dog biscuits they cleverly lead the nightwatchman's dog into finding the rats and chasing them away. It's the mice's first victory in their longstanding battle with the rats. After such an historic event the sugar mountain tastes all the sweeter! Fast-paced, action-packed and very funny, beginner readers will relish the battle between goodies and baddies in this hilarious spoof gangster adventure.
