In this first in a series of Rotten Ralph readers, Jack Gantos reads his tale of the irrepressible cat with a penchant for disaster. When Ralph tries to help Sarah with her class project on ancient Egypt, he wreaks havoc first at the library and then continues his "assistance" at home. As usual, Ralph overcomes his rotten-ness and ultimately rescues Sarah's project by dressing up as the Sphinx. In Practice makes Perfect for Rotten Ralph, when the carnival comes to town, Ralph, Cousin Percy and Sarah can't wait to go! Percy has been practicing his skills to win prizes, but Ralph thinks practicing is boring. He'll find his own way to win and prove to Sarah that Percy doesn't know everything. As usual, Ralph's way gets him into trouble! Jack Gantos reads his spirited story, and listeners will delight in Ralph's rotten-ness, as well as in his humbling lessons and ultimately, happy ending!
