Summary: Rats are actually not as dirty as previously thought. They breed quickly and grow quickly. They eat any food they can find and are able to sense poison in food. Many countries try to combat their rat problems by eating them.
Critique: This book was interesting. It used a picture book format but had a LOT of facts on each page. Made learning about rats interesting.
