And with Roosevelt as your guide, you'll have tons of fun as you learn all these classic magic tricks!

And sometimes Roosevelt will give you a star tip. These tips will help you become a star magician. They show you how to take each trick to the next level and do it like a professional!

About this title

About the Author

Hi, I'm Roosevelt Rat. I m a Norway rat (scientific name Rattus Norvegicus, but almost no one calls me that).

You're probably wondering how a rat could write a book. Well, let me tell you my story. It starts in Miss Patton's 1st grade classroom. Miss Patton bought a couple rats to be her class pets. (Most teachers buy a turtle or fish, but Miss Patton liked rats. Miss Patton had good taste.)

Soon those two rats had baby rats. And that's where I come in. Those two rats are my parents. My name is Roosevelt, and I'm a Reading Rat. Yes, I can read.

While my brothers and sisters ran on the exercise wheel, I learned my ABC's. While they dug holes, I learned how to put letters together to spell words, like cheese and crackers. And while they chased each other's tails, I learned phonics and grammar and vocabulary. Pretty soon I could read and write well enough to start writing my own book.

Then I ran into a problem. My rat claws are made for scavenging for food, but not for writing with a pencil. And don't even mention typing -- the first sentence in my book came out like this: 'Greod fndl psowq v ptywdnm blurt.' But I got some help with the word-processing and spell-checking, and now I'm the world's first published rat author. Pretty cool, huh?
