From the Read Alone series of stories for children who are just beginning to enjoy reading, with short chapters, large type and lots of pictures.
Murdo's best friend calls him Fatso - and no wonder! Maybe a dog would help him lose some weight? Then he'd have to go for walks - at least once a day.
But Murdo doesn't want a dog. He wants a white rat called Rosie - and his mum despairs. How will a rat make Murdo slimmer?
