"At the park, people give squirrels free peanuts. And nobody screams when a squirrel crosses their path. But for Rat, it's all screams and no nuts...until he comes up with a plan: be more like a squirrel-squirrel-ish!...Rat considers his tail...he lands on a winning material: straw from a broom! Finally, Rat can walk through the park without getting shooed. Free peanut in hand, he daydreams about building a re-tail empire...until the dogs in the park spot him and give chase. All of a sudden, Rat understands why squirrels do so much scampering! Maybe his rat tail isn't so bad after all"-- - Baker & Taylor

When his attempts at adopting a squirrel-ish posture and pinning his ears down donât make a difference, Rat considers his tail. And after a few crafty but failed squirrel-ish tail prototypes made from cotton balls, feathers, and spaghetti, he lands on a winning material: straw from a broom!

Brightly illustrated and packed with hilarious details and hidden gags, this laugh-out-loud ode to self-love reminds readers that the grass isnât always greener on the other side.
