1: Fourth Grade Rats
Fourth Grade Rats by Jerry Spinelli is a fantastic book. There are two fourth graders named Suds and Joey. Joey thinks that just because he's a rat, he can boss little kids. There are first grade babies, second grade cats , third grade angels, and fourth grade rats. Joey always tells Suds to be mean and say no to his mom. Suds nice and always wants Joey to be nice.
Suds wants to be a rat, but his brain tells him not to. There is a part in the story when kids make fun of Suds. Then he gets really mad and shoves a cake in a third grader's face. Then that's when he starts to be a rat.
This story takes place at a school and Joey's house where Suds trains to be mean and bad. At the school many bad and interesting things happen.
The story is about how to be bad and mean. Many bad things happen. Joey pushes kids off of swings. There is a part when Suds tries to train to be bad. When he is trying to be mean he has to climb up Joey's house. The part that I liked most was when Suds climbs a tree to impress the girl that he likes. I like this book. I recommend all kids to read this book, it is very interesting and funny.

2: You're in for a Treat
This book, "Fourth Grade Rats," is about a boy having problems in the fourth grade. The main characters are Suds, Joey, Judy, Mom, and Dad.
Most of the story took place at Suds' home and at school. The major theme of the book is believe in yourself. Do the right things, and you should follow the golden rule, and you shouldn't go out of your way to impress others.
I think that Suds is immature because he goes to sleep with his teddy bear. The other reason I think that he is immature is because he tries to impress his friends. Real friends don't want you to impress them. Suds tries to impress Judy with letting a spider crawl up his arm. He was lucky that she wasn't scared of spiders.
I think you would enjoy the book if you are in Fourth Grade. You can see if you would act the same as Joey did. Bulling isn't nice because you're not going to like it and the other person isn't going to like it either.
You're in for a treat!

3: Has A Nice Lesson
Fourth Grade Rats is a story about two buddies named Suds and Joey. Suds is getting forced by Joey to become a mean rat. A rat for Joey is a person who is smelly, sloppy, bossy, fearless, and will never cry! Well.... I don't want to give the whole story away, so I won't get to far in detail. This book has a great lesson, but I'm leaving you to figure out what that lesson is. It is not the best book, but out of 10 I'd rate it 8. Jerry Spenelli did a nice job with this book, but I think he should add more humor. I hope you read this book!!!!!!!!

4: Major Life Lesson, Beautifully Told
Jerry Spinelli unfolds a basic story and sprinkles humor, love, detail, and a major life lesson. Fourth Grade Rats is a book about a ten-year-old named Suds who is in fourth grade. According to the rhyme, "First grade babies, second grade cats, third grade angels, fourth grade rats", he is now supposed to be a rat. However, it isn't like him that he should steal first and second graders Twinkies, throw them off the swings, say "no" to his mom, and mess up his room, but his best friend, Joey Peterson, thinks otherwise. He tells him to get rid of his flying elephant lunchbox, eat bologna sandwiches instead of peanut butter and jelly, and to steal Twinkies and kick little kids off swings. His love, Judy Billings, goes after Joey when a bee lands on his arm and stings him--and he doesn't even cry. The major life lesson is don't let anybody pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. I loved this book because of its major life lesson, and its detail. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody.

5: Fourth Grade Rats
The book Fourth Grade Rats is a funny and adventure book. The main characters are Suds and Joey. In the book the setting is at school and at Suds house. The major events are Joey becomes a man, Suds becomes a man. The major theme of the book is "you should be a kid when you're a kid." In the book Joey think when you're a rat it is time to be a man but his way of being a man is being a bully too. I really like this book so I think this is a good book to read.
The book stares at school as always at the end recess Suds hold the door open for Judy but she doesn't know him at all. At lunch Joey tolled Suds to be a rat you have to be a man (the saying at there school is: first grade babies second grade cats thread grade angles fourth grades rats). Throw the past week Joey was being a man but that's what he was saying to Suds and he didn't now how to become a man and what do you have to do. But he didn't want to become a rat or a man right now but Joey pushes him to become a man.
When Suds becomes a man he is really a bully take kids thing pushing them off of the tire swings he might get the girl he liked but what would take place next to him because he is mostly afraid of every thing you should read the book to find out.
