What are they Reading? The Amazing Maurice and his educated rodents

Hosted by Rose City Reader

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
At the beginning of each chapter of this book we are treated to an extract from 'Mr Bunnsy Has An Adventure'. Being a Terry Pratchett novel this book, of course, is also purely a work of fiction. But a couple of things about the book can be worked out from the quotes provided:

It is a work of fiction for young children
It is a cross-between Rupert Bear and Beatrix Potter's works

Interestingly enough, 'The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents' is mentioned in another Terry Pratchett book. Does anyone know which one it is?

Oh, this is a great addition to the What Are They Reading meme! Characters reading fictional works is just as interesting as what real books they might be reading. Thanks for sharing your link.

I am not generally a fan of sci-fi or fantasy, so I have never read any of Terry Pratchett's books. But I am obsessed with book lists and several show up on some of my lists, so I will give them a go one of these days.

Glad to find your blog. I will go now and sign up as a follower.

Thanks for following.

When you finally get round to reading a Terry Pratchett book I recommend finding one that is about a topic you like- then you can have a laugh at the different take on it.
