Synopsis: From the book: A city is no place for a rat! The Rat family can't even get a decent meal anymore. They need a vacation --and for clean air and healthy food, what could be better than a dude ranch? But the owners of the ranch are--horrors! --Rat terriers. Though their hosts insist they are vegetarians, the Rats worry...all the while eating the terriers out of house and home. Can they find an ideal plan for plump rats and hungry dogs alike? In James Marshall's eight riotous stories you will also meet a pig who takes lessons in table manners, a mouse who keeps house for a tomcat, and a buzzard who leaves his money to the Society for Stray Cats... or does he? Caldecott Honor winner James Marshall will corral all readers, young and old, with his most comical book.
