Ratnip: I'm No Scaredy-Rat

Ages 5 to 9, Grades K to 4

Ratnip comes snout-to-snout with a monster in this fourth book of the chapter book series from the author of Good Dog.

Word on the street is that there’s a dumpster monster living in the darkest, gloomiest alley of the City. The monster is bigger than a cat, smellier than rotten cabbage, and always hungry! One night, when Ratnip gets carried away on a treasure hunt, he accidentally wanders into the monster’s den. Will he make it out with all his whiskers still in place?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Ratnip chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.

About the Author

Cam Higgins wrote her very first book about a cat who lived in an alleyway when she was eight years old. As a child, she loved visiting a neighboring farm and seeing all the animals. Now Cam has a pup of her own, who is very mischievous, and she still loves writing about animals. Cam lives in New York City with her two children, her husband, and Laila the dog.

Allison Steinfeld grew up in Connecticut where she spent hours getting lost in her library books. She currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her two very fluffy cats. When not providing essential head scratches and belly rubs, she finds time to illustrate books like the Wait! What? series and the Kid Legends series.
