Fourth Grade Rats

This book worked really well for my child. The print is clear and the chapters are short, so it is not overwhelming for kids who are still getting comfortable with reading on their own. The pages turn quickly because the story feels real and the situations are exactly what kids deal with in school. My child laughed and stayed engaged the whole time which is rare for books at this level. The pacing is fast and the chapters have just enough action to keep them moving without losing focus. The paper quality is good and the size of the book is comfortable for kids to hold. It is a great choice if you want something that encourages reading without it feeling like homework. Simple, funny, and very relatable for this age group.

Classic book from the early 90's I read now my daughter is reading it

My husband teaches English and is always ahead of the book trend curve. He always gifts our kids a book the last day of summer to be encouraging. This year he chose this book for our daughter going into fourth grade. It made her giggle reading the title and she dove right into reading it. She says it’s an easy read and has kept her interest. I’d recommend for anyone looking for a similar gift for their kids.

The book was okay bought for my 8 year old son, he needed a break from the I survived series with something light hearted and fun, it took some time for him to start enjoying the book. I thought the story and language had an odd flow, the dialogue was strange and confusing at times. I think it had an interesting idea but just didn’t work. I also didn’t like how it used improper grammar and language in the set up of dialogue, I get that it’s trying to sound like kids are talking to each other, it bugged me. It had a good lesson, to be yourself and not care what others think of you, so I might be delving too deep into my criticism but I’ve read a lot of crap with my son and I felt I needed to express this.

My students are OBSESSED with this series. A little too much "romance" for elementary, but a must read for fourth grade!

Our church provides one book for each student in a local elementary school. Several books were priced great and looked interesting so that I could buy quite a few.

Keep my boy entertained, great read for the beginning of the 4th grade school year.

I read this book to my third graders at the end of the year. I love it!

Our class has totally embraced this series of books. I highly recommend them!

My son who is also in 4th grade enjoyed me reading this book to him. I like the lessons it taught.

Great book! My grandson liked it very much, also his teacher use it at school!!

Nice history for a 3rd or 4th grader.
