The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents
''The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents'' is a children's fantasy by Terry Pratchett, published by Doubleday in 2001. It was the 28th novel in the ''Discworld'' series but the first written for children. The story is a new take on the German fairy tale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin〔 and a parody of the folk tale genre.〔
Pratchett won the annual Carnegie Medal from the British librarians, recognising the year's best children's book published in the U.K.〔 It was his first major award.〔

''Discworld'' had been a comic fantasy series for adults, beginning with ''The Colour of Magic'' in 1983. ''Amazing Maurice'' was marketed as a children's book, to be followed in that respect by ''The Wee Free Men'' (2003, #30).〔 It differs from most Discworld novels also by its division into chapters. Contrary to the contrast between adult and child markets, reflected in catalogues, ''The Guardian'' observed on the occasion of the Carnegie Medal that "()he main audience for Pratchett's 48 books, all busily in print, is teenagers, who are drawn by his irrepressible invention and sense of mischief."〔
Maurice and his Educated Rodents were not entirely new; they had been mentioned as early as ''Reaper Man'' (1991, #11).
