A Walter Potter assembly of animals assist the Ratatoks as they negotiate unicorns, the Wood Cup football competition, poetry and drug dealing hares amongst many other trials that come along in the average squirrel's day.Told in a highly inventive and amusing style, if a challenge in language is your thing thenLyrical Mallardswill add to you lexicon."
