Mocha, a pet rat, introduces children to the joy and excitement of reading.

With humor and silly antics, she reenacts scenes from some of her favorite classic fairy tales. Mocha also shares some of her favorite genres in children's literature, such as spooky stories, mystery and adventure. As an enthusiastic and positive influence, Mocha tries to inspire children and get them interested in reading. The Coloring Book Edition features black and white illustrations that children can color with their favorite crayons and pencils. It also includes extra pages and instructions that encourage children to create their own rat book by drawing and writing. For young children, ages 4 - 7.
