Just Me and 6,000 Rats: A Tale of Conjunctions

32 pp. | Gibbs Smith | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4236-0219-4 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Gordon & Carl Gordon. A boy and his six thousand rats tour a big city, causing chaos wherever they go. The thin story is an excuse for teaching conjunctions; every page turn completes the previous page's sentence, with each until, but, and since printed in bold type. Readers will giggle at the exaggerated cartoon-style illustrations--especially the looks on peoples' faces as the rats come marching.
