The Nine Lives of Rotten Ralph by Jack Gantos


Gantos, Jack The Nine Lives of Rotten Ralph, illustrated by Nicole Rubel. Houghton Mifflin, 2009. $16.00. PICTURE BOOK. Rotten Ralph has been so rotten that he has used up eight of his nine lives. If he is not careful, then it is off to cat heaven for him. Sarah, his owner is determined to protect Ralph, but protection may not be what Ralph wants most. Gantos story and Rubel’s illustrations are a perfect blend for the latest of the Rotten Ralph series. I especially enjoyed the recounting of each lost life! EL – ESSENTIAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
