(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Rats spread disease, but there's a positive side, too: some "help plants spread their seeds," and rats are a vital part of the food chain. Double-page oil paintings introduce various species around the world; the brief text mentions physical adaptations to different habitats. The presentation lacks depth, but given the subject, that might draw in rat-phobic readers. Websites.
