The titular adorable rodent Ratnip lives with Cookie the raccoon and his rat siblings — self-styled pizza rats — in an abandoned pizzeria. Ratnip loves to hunt for food, but he also loves to go on what he calls “treasure hunting,” seeking shiny wrappers, coins, sparkly stuff and pretty paper scraps. Youngsters and their grownups alike will love Ratnip’s quest to reunite a child with his own treasure and meeting Ratnip’s many cute friends in this first in a series of early chapter books.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing and Little Simon in exchange for an honest review.
