4th April World Rat Day
Tomorrow is World Rat Day. Not sure I want to celebrate rats but there are a couple of families at school with pet rats and people do say that they make good pets. What I can't believe is how many children's books have rats in them...and I do love The Rats of NIMH. When I looked up the catalogue today I found it hard to believe that we had over 80 books with 'rats' as a subject heading and that was in a library just for 3 to 8 year olds. When I added the other two libraries at school there were many, many more so they are a popular animal in children's books. So off you go to the library and borrow a story that features rats. Enjoy!

Glad to see Walter on your collage. I adore this little book and also Hector the rat which is such fun. I don't plan to celebrate rat day but you are right they are so many books! We have 48. I was a Rat by Philip Pullman is another favourite.
