Beskrivelse
This little rhyme is a story about pet rats. Just hearing the word rat makes some people's skin crawl, while other people defend their little spirits as the best rodent a person could love. I'm not certain just when we decided rats would make great domestic pets. Perhaps lab technicians, who used them in a plethora of experiments, found that many of their lab specimens had actually shown a sensitive, caring, and loyal nature. My family, as one of many, is overjoyed that rats are being offered for companions. Rats have just the right combination of play and snuggles. Like visits from my own Mother when she stayed in our household of pets, we'd do everything to shelter her from having to experience a rat tail. Ideas to tape, paint, or cover the tail with clothing or bows were all considerations. This book is about the joy my family found in this 'unsung hero' of pets. Perhaps, and after reading our story, a family who would have never considered having a rat, might just look at them as something other than snake food.
