An amazing book on rats for teachers, parents and children

This book is by far the best children's book about rats & mice. As a teacher, I need well written, easy to understand and large detailed photos of animals. This book has it all. The photography is amazing; along with superb photos of rats & mice doing everyday activities, it contains close-up, detailed photographs of their teeth, tail, paw, newborns, an xray and even the internal organs. There is a list of questions at the end of the book that provides additional teaching moments when looking at several of the photos. I will use this to introduce 2008 Chinese New Year of the Rat to my class. I look forward to checking out her other books.
