Survival School

(3) 1-3 Class Pets series. Illustrated by John Kanzler. Jake and Molly (two mice who live at P.S. 42) show the new class pet, a gerbil named Dexter, how to survive outside his cage. After being caught in a mousetrap, the trio gets separated; Molly is captured by the janitor, while Jake and Dexter are flushed down the toilet, threatened by sewer rats, and attacked by a vengeful cat. Asch's story is filled with suspense and movement. Black-and-white drawings accompany the simple text.
