"Cyril es la unica ardilla que vive en el parque. Se siente aburrido y triste, hasta que un dia aparece Renata. Cyril esta entusiasmado con su nueva amiga: juegan juntos, hacen travesuras, gastan bromas a las palomas y se protegen mutuamente cuando el perro Slim los persigue. Sin embargo, parece que al resto de los animales no les parece bien esta amistad Y es que Cyril no se habia dado cuenta, pero Renata es una rata. Y las ratas no le gustan a nadie. Con su habitual mezcla de sentido del humor y emotividad, Emily Gravett nos presenta una nueva historia que habla de tolerancia y aceptacion de la diversidad. A traves de la actitud de Cyril, que no ve por que una ardilla y una rata no pueden ser amigas, los mas pequenos recibiran un mensaje a favor de la diversidad cultural y contra la xenofobia."--Amazon. 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 is adamant 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.
