The Crat is a modern Lorax tale told in a ransom note tone. With pictures, drawings, and Romantic verse, the story details the perils of an oblivious political leader in the grip of an eager bureaucrat -- The Crat.
The tale challenges readers of all ages to read, absorb, and think. Unlike too many modern children's books, The Crat offers a fresh perspective where mindless sharing and communal empowerment isn't always the answer.
The vocabulary is not trite or simple.
We, as a society, tend to underestimate our kids' cognitive ability. Kids want to learn.

You will find it in The Crat.
