Living in the sewers below the city,
Milo the rat is getting so mad!
His home is becoming so nasty and gritty.
That's it! He's had what he's had!
Now it is time for a change,
A time to reflect and grow.
To take to the streets and rearrange
From the top to below!
In this sweet, rhyming tale, a valuable lesson is learned for children of all ages: whether you are living in the country or the city, it is important to take care of the world around you! A reverse-Grinch tale, follow Hodel the rat and his faithful dog companion Milo as they teach the city residents an important lesson in preserving the environment.
