What is Ratty's big adventure about?

Ratty lives happily inside the crater of a volcano, where he discovers a tempting fruit high in a tree. From the branches, he sees the exciting world beyond his home and wonders whether everything there might be bigger, sweeter and more beautiful. Soon Ratty sets off to explore. But when a crocodile invites him to dinner, his adventure takes an unexpected turn.
