Rats!: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

RATS by Richard Coniff, is a nice little picture book of rats - fun to look at and filled with lots of cute baby pictures. Although the book includes some text, photos are it's strength - rats in burrows, rats in granaries, rats in brick walls, rats gnawing things they ought not be gnawing, dozens and dozens of rats crawling all over and out of the book. Cute white rats save lives according to the book. And some rats have been bred to be hairless (and look pink and pathetic). Did you know there was a little girl living in California who had 12 pet rats who sleep with her. She says her friends think she is weird. This book is for weird kids.
