Rotten Ralph Rules!!!

I Love Rotten Ralph! I have been working in libraries for quite some time. I was elated when I discovered my pal Ralph as an adult. I was also shocked to discover that most people do not know about him. I didn't either while growing up. Ralph has been around since the 1970's. All of the old school library ladies that I knew never ordered Rotten Ralph books because they just didn't get it! Rotten Ralph is just good fun. Ralph doesn't mean to be Rotten. He gets carried away like many children do. Also, no matter what Sarah loves him anyway. Isn't that the best moral of all for children? Children need to know that we may not like what they do but we still can love them. Ralph is just cool.

Rotten Ralph is funny

My 5 year old daughter finds this book hysterical. I like reading it to her. I agree with the other person that the cat should have consequences for hurting the other persons's feelings and being so bad. His owner should give him consequences for his bad behavior.
