Editorial Reviews

The illustrations of this informative Spanish-language picture book play to children’s funny bones, featuring goofy rat ballerinas and the polite introduction of one Rattus Rattus to his rodent cousin. Learning about a maligned species has never been such silly fun! – Foreword Reviews
