Oh, Rats!: The Story of Rats and People

48 pp. | Dutton | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-525-47762-4 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by C. B. Mordan. Nine fact-filled chapters enthusiastically present everything you'll ever want to know about rats...and some things you might not. Focusing on the relationship between rats and humans throughout history, Marrin also covers the rodent's evolution, physiology, social behaviors, characteristics, and habits. Well-placed sidebars contain additional ratty bits of information. The etching-like illustrations--black-and-white pictures accented with pink and dark red--are surprisingly effective. Reading list. Bib.
