REVIEW.
First published January 1, 2002 (Booklist).
In this read-along version of Thacher Hurd’s popular picture book (1983), opera-loving Ralph comes to the rescue of his favorite singer, who has been kidnapped by a gang of rat villains. Although reader John Beach’s Italian accent is somewhat inconsistent and not particularly believable, he capably reflects the humorous dialogue in this “fast paced melodrama.” Sound effects help young listeners (who are sure to appreciate Ralph’s courage and cleverness as he successfully battles Big Al and his gang) visualize the exciting chase and capture. 0
