A boy and his six thousand rats tour a big city, causing chaos wherever they go. The thin story is an excuse for teaching conjunctions; every page turn completes the previous page's sentence, with each until, but, and since printed in bold type. Readers will giggle at the exaggerated cartoon-style illustrations--especially the looks on peoples' faces as the rats come marching.
