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.
She really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all . . .
Hilarious, inventive, and irresistably rodent-friendly, Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat is a fantastic first novel from acclaimed picture book author Lynne Jonell.

So far I like the book a lot. It`s very interesting and fun! I never new how good a book can rely draw you in.
Emmy's parents are barely ever home. She has no friends, and the teacher can barely remember her name. What she doesn't know is that there is a reason for this. She also has no idea that she is the only one that are able to hear and talk to the class pet, Rat. THis is a great adventure full of magic and excitement. YOu will not be able to put this down!
