Busy Whiskers and Tails in the Wild

One rat scurries up a tree branch, his tiny paws gripping as he peeks at the world from above. Another sits quietly in a patch of tall grass and wildflowers, his nose twitching in the breeze and his bright eyes watching a butterfly swirl nearby. Each panel bursts with different spots outdoors—beside a city trash can, near smooth river rocks, and under big fluffy clouds in the sky.

By the water’s edge, a rat leans forward to take a sip, his reflection wiggling in the ripples. In the city corner, another rat explores the brick path, always curious for crumbs. Every rat has its own story, showing whiskers, round ears, and long, curling tails as they explore their little piece of the world.
