{"product_id":"oh-rats-the-story-of-rats-and-people","title":"Oh Rats!: The Story of Rats and People","description":"Prepare to be disgusted, amazed, shocked (and informed) by the astonishing and mysterious creature that has annoyed humanity for centuries:\n\nRats!\n\nAble to claw straight up a brick wall, squeeze through a pipe the width of a quarter, and gnaw through iron and concrete, rats are also revealed in this fascinating book to be incredibly intelligent and capable of compassion. Weaving together science, history, culture, and folklore, award-winning writer Albert Marrin offers a look at rats that goes from the curious to repulsive, horrifying to comic, fearsome to inspiring. Arresting black-and-white scratchboard illustrations with bold red accents add visual punch to this study of a creature that has annoyed, disgusted, nourished, and intrigued its human neighbors for centuries.\n* \"[A] lively and informative overview of the history and behavior of the widely encountered rodent.... It's a different sort of discussion... for this well-known historian and biographer and one that he has clearly enjoyed, as will a wide variety of nonfiction readers and animal fans. There's a bibliography of adult sources and children's nonfiction as well as a listing of literary works featuring rats.\"\n—School Library Journal, starred review\n\n“Pleasantly icky.”\n—Booklist\n\nA Junior Library Guild Selection\n\nIncludes bibliography, further reading list, and a list of rats in literature\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0147512816\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0147512816.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marrin, Albert|Mordan, C.B\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
