This book was about a town that got infested with rats. The town couldn't get rid of the rats and a piper came to the town one day and asked for money and he would get rid of the rats. The piper played his pipe and the rats vanished into the river. The mayor of the town never payed the piper what he said he would so the piper played anther song and got all the children to follow him to another town. I enjoyed the book, I though it taught a good lesson at the end.
