Synopsis: Rodney Rat, who can't pronounce his r's, is the shyest, most miserable kid in school, until one day he saves his classmates from the mean bully Camilla Capybara.

Craft ideas:

• Make mouse ears, and act it out.
• Was Camilla just a bully? what was she feeling? Tell the story from her perspective.
• What do you do when you don't understand something? Draw a picture of how Rodney's classmates could have reacted to him.
