It was a bit disconcerting reading about the adventures of these rodents at first, and I wondered if the story would have been any different if the Thea Sisters were human instead. Still, it was fun to pick up information about New York City through reading the story - pleasantly surprised at how thorough and comprehensive the information was. All in all, a fun read, with bolded/highlighted colored key words, compelling illustrations and a satisfying theme of "good trumps evil"
