Book Description
Can Kit’s super-weird superpower save her world? Twelve-year-old kit (with a small k) likes shopping at the flea market with her best friend, Clem, roller-skating, climbing to the roof to look at the stars, and volunteering at an animal shelter. Until suddenly she has a really big, really strange secret that makes life more complicated than she’s prepared for: Sometimes, without warning, she turns into a tiny naked mole rat. It first happened as kit watched Clem fall and get hurt during a performance with her acrobatic-troupe family on TV. Since then, the transformations keep coming. Kit can’t tell Clem, because Clem hasn’t been herself after the accident. She’s mad and gloomy and keeping a secret of her own: the real reason she fell. Months later, kit and Clem still haven’t figured out how to deal with all the ways they have changed—both inside and out. Somehow, kit has to save the day. But she’s no hero, and turning into a naked mole rat isn’t a superpower. Or is it?

Book Description
This volume focuses on the huge advances in the last 25 years on the use of this animal model for biomedical research (cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration), fundamental neuroscience and basic subterranean biology. In 2013, Science magazine named the naked mole-rat as the Vertebrate of the Year. This was partly due to research carried out documenting its extreme longevity, negligible senescence, and prolonged maintenance of cancer free, good health well into old age as well as seminal work on mechanisms involved in these processes, pain and hypoxia resistance. In addition to this research focus on longevity and chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, the naked mole-rat has also made a substantial contribution to the fields of ecophysiology, neuroscience and behavior. With international contributions, this book provides a valuable text for zoological students, behavioral scientists and biomedical researchers.

Book Description
Herman the naked mole rat is very excited and interested in learning about the world around him. Unlike the normal mole rat, he wants to see what adventures he can find, both in the mole rat community and outside his world. This is the first book focusing on Herman's life and the adventures that he gets into with his best friends, Jessica and Nathan. Throughout the night when most mole rats are eating and working, the three friends spend time exploring and discovering the world around them. These stories have developed around the many bedtime stories I tell my daughter. Even though there are only three chapters in this book, the plan is to continue expanding on the Herman stories that we have experienced and give the reader a look inside the life of the a strange and unusual creature. Even though normal mole rats never leave their tunnels and burrows, Herman has found many ways to adventure out and bring the life of the world back to his community. Coming from the vantage point of a small animal, he experiences the world in a different way and hopefully this is reflected in the writing. This is mainly a book aimed at children, most likely between the ages of 4 and 10. When I tell these stories to groups of children in this age group, they are overjoyed with the experiences that they hear about. The book is illustrated by my daughter which also helps to bring a child's sense to the story and what is occurring as it happens.

Book Description
The Naked Mole Rat is exactly what it sounds like - it's a species of rat belonging to the order of rodents, and it is called "naked" because it has very little hair, leaving its skin totally exposed. This animal is also called by other names, such as Sand Puppy and Desert Mole Rat. If you've seen newly born puppies, then you know that they somewhat look like a mouse or a rat, which is why it's called a Sand Puppy. The sand part refers to the type of place they prefer to live in. Its other name, Desert Mole Rat, is easier to understand. Of course, they can be found in deserts, and the very nature of the animal called a mole is that they live underground - just like Naked Mole Rats. This animal is therefore very interesting because of its looks and its overall characteristics. Wouldn't you like to know it better? Read on and you will find out how amazing Naked Mole Rats are.
