4. Feedbacks I think this story is interesting. Remy is my favorite character, because he is really cute and I think Remy is helpful. This story tells us that is we work in a group, things would be easier and the result will be better, too! I love the story! 7,Kimberly Eating, one of the most important things of my life~! How cool is it to have a rat that can cook? The story totally broke my thoughts about rats, I used to think they are dirty. I think families and friends are the people that keeps us happy. They are always there when we face challenges! Friends are our families, and we should never betray them. 8, Selina

5. Feedbacks I think the novel was great. It’s interesting and the story is exciting. I believe everyone enjoyed both the book and the movie. I wish we could have more novels like this. The story is ridiculous but yet it actually made me feel nice about the food critic “Anton Ego”. I think it was great. I’m really excited for our next novel, I hope it will be as great as this one. 22, Maggie I think this is an interesting story. The rat can cook well! Especially when he was in Linguini ’s hat controlling his body, it was fantastic. This is an exciting story. 25, Victoria

6. Feedbacks Everything and everyone is equal. A rat can literally be a chef! The story was eye- popping, how can a rat cook better than humans? I never thought a rat can actually do something better than us, and even leading human chefs! Maybe rats and humans aren’t really against each other, and we can work together! 32, Stephanie I’ve actually watched this movie a long time ago, and I watched it many times. I just can’t ever get over it! It’s really cool how they collaborate reality and animation, not too realistic, but not too unreal. They created rat chefs!! How cool is THAT? 43, Justin
