Just Me and 6,000 Rats: A Tale of Conjunctions

I didn't care for this. It's a funny story, which gives lots of examples, and it has a couple of exercises, but it doesn't actually explain what the heck is going on. When I was a child, we only learned And, But, and Or (and sometimes Nor). My son was the right age to use this when it was new, and he admits that he was never taught much more than that. This has Until, and Although, and a bunch others.

Well, I learned that there are different kinds of conjunctions. I had to look at several websites to find one that included all the different ones in this book. I'm not saying this is the best or most complete website, but it might be a good one for homeschooling families who actually want to go into more depth: show more target="_top">https://www.crowdcontent.com/resources/writer/university/grammar/types-of-conjun....

Can't rate because I'm not the target audience and no longer teach... just don't know if this would work with kids. show less

As a rat lover, I thought this book was so great!

It really captured the humor in everyone being afraid of rats when they're just great friends.

This is a good book to get everyone excited. The rats follow this boy wherever he goes. He does not realize that he is freaking everyone else out.

A boy is surprised by people's reactions when he and six thousand rats visit a big city, in a tale that features conjunctions from "and" to "yet."
