Crash went the drums. Flash went the lights. Puff came the green volcano. And up shot King Rat with that horrible voice . . .
Josh's first visit to the theatre is a night to remember but not because of the magic of seeing his sister acting and dancing in 'Dick Whittington'. It's the night Josh meets King Rat and only a red-and-white spotted handkerchief can help him overcome his fears. But then Josh finds out that even big sisters get frightened - not of actors dressed up in scary costumes, but of what might come down the chimney on a cold, dark night.
