Astronaut to Publish Picture Book "Mousetronaut"

Astronaut Mark Kelly has signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to publish a picture book entitled "Moustronaut."  The book will detail one mouse's experiences in space. 

I would like to take this opportunity to outline my own picture book, "Ratbrarian."

The rat lives in a public library, nesting in the archived newspapers that are never looked at anymore because the librarians are still collecting them a year back even though the articles are all available online.  Each night he ventures out to the break room, where he dines on the discarded popcorn left in the trashcan and the pizza boxes left over after board meetings.  He also reads Harlequinn romance novels and dreams of a lady mouse to share his time with. Then he is eaten by the cat the librarians adopt.
