Average rating
Cyril and Pat is a very funny, rhyming romp through the park from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Emily Gravett, author of Tidy and Meerkat Mail.
‘Enormous fun to read aloud.’ – Guardian
Cyril is the only squirrel in Lake Park, and he’s very lonely. Until one day he meets Pat – Pat the big, grey . . . other squirrel. Cyril and Pat have lots of adventures and fun together and Cyril is so pleased he’s made a friend. But everyone says that Cyril and Pat simply cannot be friends, and they soon reveal why: Pat, as the reader has known all along, is actually a RAT!
But Cyril’s life turns out to be a lot duller and quite a bit scarier without Pat by his side, and in the end the two friends learn that some things are more important than being the same, or listening to others.
Reviews
I am glad that Cyril met a friend who he was very happy with. It does not matter if your friend looks different, the main thing you enjoy playing together and help each other.

It made me really happy because I really like squirrels, I like dogs aswell, and I like flowers because they smell nice. The book was good, it was good when the squirrel was not alone as he did not have any friends. The good part- When all of the rats came to help the squirrel and the dog pulled the rats around in the rollerskate, which was really funny.

I liked this story because it was sweet. I liked it when Cyril was alone and Slim said that Cyril wasn’t brave without Pat but then Pat appeared and said “Ahem, do you mean me!” I would recommend it to people who like sweet stories.

It was very funny, I liked both the rat and squirrel. The most interesting part was the dog bullying the squirrel and it was very scared and the rat appeared with its friends and then the dog was scared.

I loved this book as it's all about different animals being friends.

I like Cyril because he thinks he has a squirrel friend but he's actually a rat and they have lots of fun together. All the other animals try to tell him that Pat is a rat and Cyril doesn't believe them. I would recommend this book
