MAGGIE THE MILITARY RAT

Maggie P. Worthington is a military rat—at least, she wants to be. She tries to enlist, but falls short. She tries to serve the soldiers, but gets kicked out of the mess hall. Even her attempt to send letters to the troops misfires! Will Maggie find her own way to serve?

In this darling children's picture book, written  by Monica Denniston and illustrated by Elia Murray, Maggie the Military Rat answers that question in a fun, heartwarming way, while teaching lessons of bravery, patriotism, and friendship. It reminds readers that even the smallest among us can serve...simply by being a friend.
