Loading... Fourth Grade Rats (edition 1991)by Jerry Spinelli
This book is funny. Two friends, Joey and Suds, get to 4th grade and Joey decides that they need to change. He becomes a tough guy and convinces Suds that he needs to toughen up too. He is after all a fourth grade rat. I read this book with fourth graders. They really enjoy the humor of the book. The story is fast passed and not so lengthy that it overwhelms a 9 year old. This book would appeal to 3rd – 5th graders. It could lead to a class discussion about the importance of developing your own opinions, being a leader not a follower, and having self-determination.

( ) lalfonso | Jun 27, 2012 | A cute story about starting 4th grade. There is a school chant about the grades and 4th graders are considered rats. Suds doesn't want to become a rat. He wants to stay a third grade angel. His best friend takes being a rat seriously. (  ) crazy4reading | Jun 7, 2011 | This is about a young boy who does not want to enter fourth grade and become a rat. He is very happy being an angle doing what his mother tells him, not eating real meat, and still being nice to children on the playground. But his best friend is so excited about being a rat he enjoys every minute of his new attitude. agwood | Apr 10, 2010 | |
