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

Rick Walton Illustrated by Mike Gordon and Carl Gordon When a little boy goes to the big city for the first time, he wants to do everything he can. He goes to a play, a museum, a professional baseball game, and even joins a parade. He just happens to be accompanied by a very large and unusual group of friends-RATS! /p> Conjunctions are used to link words, phrases, and clauses, and we use them every day. Author Rick Walton knows, and he's delivered another delightful children's book in his language arts series to teach budding new readers all about them! Rick Walton is the author of more than 70 books for kids. He lives with his wife and five children in a home on a hillside, where raccoons climb up his trees and deer graze under his bushes.
