Never Judge a Rat By Its Cover

This is a wonderful book with great colorful illustrations. When a stranger sets up camp at the end of town, Duck and Pig automatically assume that because he's a rat, the stranger must be sneaky and lazy and a bad person. Only Frog takes the time to actually get to know Rat and form his own opinion. Frog not only discovers what a friendly, interesting, and helpful Rat he is, but gains a new friend. The story is just long enough for reading at bedtime, keeps your attention without being too preachy, yet teaches morals on many different levels. I think this is a wonderful book for teaching tolerance for people different from you, as well as how not to be rude like Pig. I definitely recommend it!
