Description of the Drawing

Translated by AI: The reading rat is standing upright in a pose reminiscent of a human. It is depicted from the side, looking to the left. It is carrying something in front of it: three books, represented by elongated rectangles. The reading rat is holding them in its front paws. They are stacked on top of one another, slightly askew. Above the books, you can see the rat’s pointed snout. The single dot suggests an eye, and an ear is depicted at the top of the head. There is a hind paw on the lower left of the body. On the right-hand side, the long tail rises upwards. It is curved towards the end.

In German, as well as the term 'bookworm', there is also the expression 'reading rat' (Leseratte).
