Every parent knows how children can weep and wail when their favourite toy goes missing. This stunning picture book tells the tale of Tatty Ratty, a rather battered and mangled soft toy who gets left on a bus. As the story develops, and little Molly tries to work out what on earth she is going to do without him, her mother soothes her with stories of how Tatty Ratty might not be lost at all--maybe he is just off having a few fine adventures of his own...Superb storytelling combines with stunning illustrations, subtly capturing childhood moods, while a riot of fun and colour is had as Tatty's adventure unfolds.
