review 1: "That night, Sadie and Ratz wanted to rub Baby Boy's ears, nose, hair and chin right off his head. But I knew that would cause more strife. Baby Boy knew it too. Baby Boy was little, but he was crafty."Hannah's hands have minds of their own, and when they want to be beastly, they become Sadie and Ratz, who love to crush and rip and smashing things. Baby Boy, Hannah's four year old brother, sees the perfect opportunity to blame Sadie and Ratz for his own mischief around the house. Hannah retires Sadie and Ratz to avoid any false blame, but it turns out Baby Boy's hands are just as naughty. This is a delightful, unusual little book from Australian author Sonya Hartnett. Imagination BECOMES reality when the concept of hands with minds of their own determine the whole story. ... moreHarnett weaves the childhood experience masterfully. The helpless situation of a younger sibling exploiting their own littleness to get away with mischief is a powerful way of setting that stage. Together with its dark, eeriely sweet illustrations, Sadie and Ratz is a delicious, strange, gorgeous little book.Suggest to: patrons with siblings, who want short chapter books, or books written by foreign authors.
review 2: Sadie and Ratz is a chapter book about a little girl named Hannah. So what does the title have to do with Hannah, well Sadie and Ratz are her two hands. In this book which consists of three chapters, Hannah tells us of things that she likes to do with Sadie and Ratz but sometimes they can be such beasts as she refers to them. It seems like Sadie and Ratz are getting into quite a lot of trouble but is there something else that is doing bad things. I like the pictures in the book, they seem like nothing special no color but they tell the story well. I think this is a chapter book younger kids would enjoy. less
