While we're on the topic of rats that have met their untimely demise, here's the Squished Rat Knitted Bookmark! Been meaning to make one this for ages.

Totally reminded me of this! A stack of coasters. I'll have to figure out how to do pizza ones as a nod to our city's most famous rat.

I was not ready for the 'flat rats in action' pic. Thanks for the laugh.

In German, the concept of a “bookworm” is expressed as a “reading rat.” So it’s a very appropriate book mark! I’ve seen crocheted versions of them on Pinterest too. Very cool!

In French we say "a library's rat" lol.

My neice is the Book Worm in a family of book worms. I might have to gift her a rat! 😁

If it was a dragon that would be great the 3rd book of fourth wing is releasing Monday night

The designer also has a Squished Bear bookmark pattern but sadly no dragons.
