Third in this humorous series for 6 - 8 years olds, the ratbags are busy eating up the scraps from pizzas at Pecky's Pizza when one see the newspaper article that the city is going to clear the city of rats.

Chaos ensues as they realise there are traps everywhere! But that smell of the peanut butter is such a temptation even if it is in a trap.

Once the robot minks is out on the streets what will happen? It's out to destroy all strays, rats a.k.a. the ratbags, cats, jazz musicians. Are they doomed into extinction or should they join forces with their enemy? Things go a bit crazy for a while, hilariously crazy that will have young readers laughing, especially with the complimenting illustration on every page. A good little book to get kids over six years to get into reading independently and gain some new vocabulary.
