(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Joe Sutphin. Books in which animals talk to each other and understand humans (but humans remain oblivious) are ripe for the sort of inconsistencies that mar this novel. Nevertheless, readers craving pleasant animal adventures set in the subways, sewers, streets, and parks of New York City may enjoy this inconsequential story about a rat rescuing his brother, who's become a show-and-tell assignment. Expressive pencil sketches appear throughout.
