Unlike other rats, Randal Reese-Rat is fascinated with other species. It is not until he meets Maggie Mad-Rat from Africa, visiting her cousin Montague in New York, that he finds another with his secret passion. Despite a somewhat disappointing ending, this humorous adventure story is a solid sequel to Seidler's A Rat's Tale.
