The Children Who Smelled a Rat
Allan Ahlberg, Katharine McEwen
Features a Gaskitt story. Mrs Gaskitt finds a parcel, Mr Gaskitt loses a baby, Horace has mixed feelings about a bird, and the twins' teacher, Mrs Fritter, is not herself. Why? How? When? Why?. The children smell a rat!

I would recommend it 8/10. I quite liked the baby’s adventure. That was my favourite storyline.

I like the baby Gary most because he had an adventure after rolling away on the trolley. That's lots of fun when the parcel went tweeting and tweeting.

These children had a lovely teacher (Mrs Fritter) for now. But one day everything went wrong. Mrs Fritter ,eh this lady, caused a lot of trouble. Ok, I know you don't get it, so I'll tell you. She wasn't Mrs Fritter and she caused terrible mischief. Who knows what will happen next... I love this book because it gives you mind-blowing laughs!

I like this book because Mr Gaskit has a baby that weighs 10lb! Also the children has a teacher that is really bossy!
