The Rat by Elise Gravel
One in a series of humorous books about disgusting creatures, The Rat is a look at the black rat. It covers such topics as the rat's long, agile tail (it's good for balancing and picking noses), long teeth (they can chew through anything, including books) and disgusting taste in food (delicious electrical wires in tomato sauce, anyone?). Although silly and off-the-wall, The Rat contains factual information that will both amuse and teach at the same time.Elise was popular in kindergarten because she could draw princesses with long, spiral locks. Girls encouraged her to draw their fantasy boys in high school, and she developed a skill for drawing biceps and chest hair, which came in useful for this book. Roald Dahl is one of Elise's favorite authors. He piqued her interest in unique individuals and animals, as well as anything strange, unusual, or amusing. The great Antonio, the gentle giant who resided outside the doughnut shop, was well-known and liked in her city of Montreal.
He claimed to be one of the world's strongest men and that his braids could communicate with aliens. Many of Antonio's outlandish stories were proven to be real after his death: he possessed a letter from President Bill Clinton and images of himself with superstars such as Liza Minnelli, Sophia Loren, and Johnny Carson.
