Teen Read Week 2008 | Comment (1)Oh, Rats! The Story of Rats and People, by Albert Marrin, illustrated by C.B. Mordan
Oh Rats! is a great non-fiction book all about rats. Some of the topics covered in this book include rat history, rat ancestors and relatives, relationships between rats and people, eating rats, ways rats bother humans, how to get rid of rats, diseases that rats can carry, rats as pets and rats that help people. Did you know that a single pair of rats could produce up to 359 million descendants within three years? Did you know that rats’ teeth grow an average of five inches each year and they can use them to chew through concrete and steel? If you would like a really interesting and really short book, you should read Oh Rats!
