There were big rats and small rats, young rats and old rats, there were rats everywhere!  What could the poor people of Hamelin do?  Enter a mysterious person with a flute that captivates and entices.  This retelling of the famous Pied Piper legend raises many issues, with beautiful illustrations throughout. 

The story is told throughout in both French and English.  No pronunciation guides are given and the French is advanced, so you need to be a fluent speaker to read the story in French.
