身為湖泊公園中唯一的松鼠，西瑞總是感到非常孤單，直到另一隻松鼠出現：又大又灰的帕特。西瑞很開心自己交到了朋友，他和帕特經歷了許多探險與美好時光。
所有人都堅定地說：「你們是不可能成為朋友的。」他們很快揭曉原因——顯而易見的，帕特並不是松鼠，他是隻大老鼠！
但是沒有帕特在身邊，西瑞的生活逐漸變得乏善可陳，無聊的可怕。
在故事的最後，這對好朋友學會了一件事：比起和對方成為一樣的人，更重要的是傾聽彼此。《西瑞和帕特》由贏得英國凱特格林威獎的 Emily Gravettn 所著，是一本文字韻腳簡單輕快，色彩豐富活潑，極富教育性的童書。（文 / 博客來編譯）
Cyril and Pat is a very funny, rhyming romp through the park from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-winning Emily Gravett, author of Tidy and Meerkat Mail.
"Enormous fun to read aloud." – Guardian
Cyril is the only squirrel in Lake Park, and he's very lonely. Until one day he meets Pat – Pat the big, grey . . . other squirrel. Cyril and Pat have lots of adventures and fun together and Cyril is so pleased he's made a friend. But everyone says that Cyril and Pat simply cannot be friends, and they soon reveal why: Pat, as the reader has known all along, is actually a RAT!
But Cyril's life turns out to be a lot duller and quite a bit scarier without Pat by his side, and in the end the two friends learn that some things are more important than being the same, or listening to others.
