Walter Summary

Walter: The Story of a Rat by Barbara Wersba

Two lonely creatures find that companionship is closer than they thought in this charming tale of friendship

This is the story of a writer and a reader. The writer is a person. The reader is a rat. They share an old house on Long Island, but have never met. How these two lonely creatures discover one another is the essence of this story.

Walter Reviews

Those with a love of words will enjoy the way Wersba shows Walter sneaking up on a friendship with the elusive but observant author. Like Richard Kennedy's Come Again in the Spring (HarperCollins, 1976) or Randall Jarrell's The Bat-Poet (S & S, 1967), this book gives readers some writing to remember and a chance to view the world from a different perspective. --School Library Journal

* A small but very nearly perfect gem. --Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewBeautiful. . . . Moving and unpretentious. . . . Lovely. --Booklist
