The Lab Rats of Doctor Eclair
Written and illustrated by John Bianchi Cartoonist/author John Bianchi's latest madcap masterpiece introduces readers to the weird world of Doctor Eclair, a kindly scientist who is as devoted to his test animals as he is to his work. Life in the lab takes on a strange new twist when a bolt of lightning strikes Doctor Eclair's hilltop tower and molecularly rearranges three of his research rats, turning them into super rodents. Putting their new powers to work, the trio joins Doctor Eclair in his quest to build the world's first artificial lab rat. But, when some young ratlings go missing, work in the laboratory grinds to a halt. The rat's hilarious search and rescue mission will amuse children and adults alike with their rodent-eye view of science. Bianchi's illustrations are lush and inviting. 32 pages. |
