Priscilla Pack Rat

Winner, Independent Press Awards, Children's Fiction

"This is a book designed to discuss clutter and hoarding tendencies in kids, and it does so in a mild, easy manner…. Adorable felted characters and found objects create a visually interesting story that you can also turn into a little game of I Spy with little ones: there are plenty of things to find!" —Mom Read It

"Claudine Crangle wrote an excellent book which will bring up some discussion topics for you and your child....The ending is just perfect for this story about the value of friendship over things in ones life. Dr. Elizabeth McCallum has written an important letter to parents about collecting vs hoarding. Her letter covers how to assist your child in deciding what to get rid of in their rooms." —Dad of Divas

"Wow. Books about mental illness or issues are always eye-opening....In this book, Priscilla the Rat is a packrat. She loves collecting things and stores them all in her small house. When she’s invited to a couple of birthday parties, she cannot decide what to give her friends. And she even takes gifts back when she realizes how much people like them. Eventually she skips out on a party because she cannot stand to part with her things. Priscilla makes a difficult decision at the end of the book, which will surely give parents and children plenty to talk about." —Mom's Radius
