I have especially loved "Squirrel Goes Skating" with "The Knot Squirrel Tied" to be read immediately following. Is there another book to follow up on Rat's repentance? Alison Utley's use of the English language, along with terms that must be explained to my very American grandchildren, is extraordinary. I love to read and comment to them as we read about the choices and character of the animals with human behaviors. Any insights?

My introduction to Little Grey Rabbit came from my English grandmother, Marty(mentioned in my last response), who gave me a copy of Grey Rabbit and the Wandering Hedgehog. [And the game by the way was not pin-the-tail on Grey Rabbit, but pin-something (forgotten what but a gift from Grey Rabbit) on the Wandering Hedgehog]. I am intrigued to learn that Alison Uttley wrote so many books - will have to look up what else she wrote. I do remember A Traveller in Time - 'forced' on me as a Form 2 (Year 8) student and, as not a great reader of 'thick books', it was a bit of a challenge, but the historical aspect hooked me - for me much better than the more famous, The Time Machine by HG Wells. But to be truthful, although I did like the Grey Rabbit stories, it was Margaret Tempest's illustrations that really had the lasting impression and ensured that I passed on this little literary and illustrative gem.

What I do remember is that one of the characters was having a party and they wrote RSVP on the invitations. For many years after, I assumed it really did mean "Rat Shan't Visit Party"!
