    Major Fail
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2015*

I can't believe I purchased this book! What a disappointing read this was. As someone who has been a pet rat parent for over 20 years, rats are so much more than what this book discussed.The author failed to mention that a rat grooms itself more than your dog and cat. The author fails to mention that a pet rat can be litter box trained and can be taught new tricks. The author fails to mention that pet rats can be trained to come when they are called. The author fails to mention that Queen Victoria, Theodore Roosevelt, Helen Keller and Michael Jackson are among famous people who owned pet rats. The author failed to mention that rats are trained by APOPO to sniff out land mines and TB in Africa and are more efficient than humans in doing so. The author fails to mention that public health officials can use rats to determine public health issues which could become present in society.There are NUMEROUS other books out there that are SO much better than this book.

    Rats actually have some positive qualities
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2018*

Dirty Rats begins by sharing what most of us think about rats but goes on to show how they are not all bad but help in areas such as seed dispersal and medical research. This is a good title to use in the classroom to help students learn to compare and contrast.

    Read aloud and discuss author's point of view and purpose with K-2nd grade students
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2015*

This would be an interesting read aloud to a k-2nd grade class that is comparing what they think they know about a topic to information they read in a text. I'd start by generating a list (shared writing) of what students think they know about "rats." Read aloud the book. Then return to the list. It may be true that rats eat trash (the author does not dispute this), but, as the author reveals, there are lots of species of rats in the world and many of these rats do not eat trash.The first four 2-page spreads would make for an interesting discussion about "point of view" with students --their point of view and the author's. From there, the point of view of the author (as well as the author's purpose) could be explored.Four out of five stars - at first read, I thought the author was trying to make the point that rats are mistaken for being awful. While she does explore rats around the world who are more appealing than say those we find in the NYC sewers, she does not address facts or misconceptions about the particular urban rats many of us are more familiar with and that she portrays at the beginning and end of the book. As a result, I was puzzled about whether I was supposed to just know more about different kinds of rats (and broaden my perspective while holding onto old views) or whether I was supposed to change my mind about urban sewer rats. Probably the former. It would have been nice - given the age of the proposed audience-if this had been made clearer. Not a deal breaker, though. I'd still use the book and maybe even discuss this with more savvy students. Maybe it's an opportunity to research further :)
