I've just read a great book. It is "OH RATS"! The interesting characters in this book are the RATS! The problem from the book is how some people think rats are pests and some people think rats are very helpful. I learned that rats are very sucessful survivors, they can squeeze through a pipe the size of a quarter and that they can scale a brick wall straight up! And thats what I learned. I hope you read this book because it is a good one! Thank you!

This wonderful book is by Albert Marrin. Anyway do you know why they made "ring around the rosie".It's because rats spread and carry diseases. Learn more interesting facts if you read "OH RATS".

I liked this book because I am interested in reading about animals. I especially enjoyed the chapter “Rats and their Ratty Ways.” It was really amazing that they can squeeze through a pipe the width of a quarter.

Isn't it amazing that how those huge rats can track landmines and tell the soldier our person with the rat where the landmines our located. I really recomend this book for people who love to read about animals doing facsinating things.

I realy liked this book.It was a little weird and gross,but it had good facts about rats.If you want to study rats and what they do and live like I would recomand this book to a good reader.I was surprised that a rat could crawl through a pipe as big as a quarter.

I really liked the book Oh Rats. It was a little disturbing,like when the rats crippled the elephants.And when they crawled all over the Vietnam's solder's feet.Iwould freak out if they crawled on my feet.I also can't believe a rat can tread water for three days and swim half a mile!In fact I didn't even think a rat could swim!Last I can't imagine trying to fit through a quarter inch hole like a rat!

the book ohrats has lots information about rats.I like how it tells you that salers notesed that when rats jump over the side of the boat,the boat starts to sink.I also think that it is kind of cool that rats send signals to other rats. and people cant hear the sound because it is so high piched.
