Reginald hates rats. That's unfortunate, because Reginald is a rat. The poor guy isn't having an identity crisis, he just simply doesn't know that he is a rat. Although the other animals try to tell him, he is insulted and doesn't believe them. Even when the other animals tell Reginald all the good things about rats, he argues that other animals are better. But then he meets another rat, Raquel, who helps him to see himself for what he is. This book is a great way to teach kids that the way they see themselves and the way others see them, can be very, very different.  I did not love the illustrations, which were not very good representations of various animals, although maybe that was intentional.
