The Rat

(3) K-3 Disgusting Critters series. A smiling rat on the cover ("Hi!") welcomes readers in to this humorous science book. Accurate facts--"In Latin, the black rat is called Rattus Rattus"--appear alongside smart-alecky commentary and silly cartoon illustrations. Two rats shaking hands: "'Hey, I'm Rattus Rattus.' 'Nice to meet you! I'm Debbie Debbie.'" A kid-friendly, giggle-inducing approach to information.
