The Infamous Ratsos

The Infamous Ratsos

font-family: "Gentium Book Basic", serif; font-size: 16px;">Being tough can be hard!  That’s what Louie and Ralphie Ratso realize after numerous failed tries to demonstrate their toughness.  Wanting to be tough, like their father Big Lou, they attempt a series of pranks, only to have them backfire with hilarious results.   Will they ever prove how tough they are?

I can see why this book was recently named a Geisel Honor book!  It is a great choice for any reader, but especially growing readers wanting to try a chapter book.   It has short chapters, great illustrations, and a funny story! A heartwarming ending brings this humorous tale to a satisfying conclusion.  I hope author Kara LaReau continues to write about this entertaining rat family.
