Rat Pack

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a group of rats scurrying around together? Sometimes they stick together in a group, and that's called a "rat pack."

Now, there was a group of really famous singers who were known as the Rat Pack back in the 1950s and 1960s. These were guys like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and a few others. They were all really talented performers and they became best friends.

They would hang out together and perform together in Las Vegas, which was a popular place for entertainment back then. They would sing, dance, tell jokes, and have a lot of fun together.

People really loved watching them, and they became really famous. They even made movies together, like Oceans 11. They were known for being really cool, stylish and fun - kind of like the coolest rats in the pack!
