Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat

by Lynne Jonell

Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet—some days. Honestly, Emmy really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all. . . .

Synopsis:

Hilarious, inventive, and rodent-friendly, this fantastic first novel by acclaimed picture book author Jonell features a lonely girl, a cantankerous talking rat, and a nanny who is doing very bad things. Includes a fun flip-book feature. Illustrations.
