Red Hansen.
Bully Tyler terrorizes his schoolmates but takes to the class pet, a rat named Snowball. After Snowball escapes from its cage, Tyler forges an unexpected friendship. The book wears its message--open your hearts--on its sleeve. Digital and mixed-media illustrations, though similarly unsubtle, are creatively composed.
