[LM_NET] HIT=>Do you know this book?

["Huffman, Brandy S." <bshuffman@BURKE.K12.NC.US>]

Original Post:
Okay, all you elementary people!  I had a student that said she read a book in 
elementary school a year or two ago, and we can't figure out what it was!  She says 
a rat and his girlfriend go on a picnic.  A storm comes up, the rat gets lost on a 
raft and ends up with a toad.   The rat and his girlfriend do get back together by 
the end and get married.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I am coming up 
blank, but she would really like to reread it.  Can anyone help with a title?  
Thanks in advance...

The overwhelming response says that it is Abel's Island by William Steig.  I'll 
share that with her.  I'm sure she will be very excited!  What a great group!
Thanks everyone!

"Wicked people never have time for reading," Dewey said.  "It's one of the reasons 
for their wickedness."
