5.0 out of 5 stars Rotten Ralph walks, reads, shakes and looks like an Egyptian, 14 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rotten Ralph Helps Out: A Rotten Ralph Rotten Reader (Rotten Ralph Rotten Readers) (Hardcover)
As an educator it is always a treat to discover new ways of tricking young students into learning things and that is what we have here with "Rotten Ralph Helps Out," the first volume to be A Rotten Ralph Rotten Reader. Written by Jack Gantos and illustrated by Nicole Rubel, the title has to do with Rotten Ralph's attempts, such as they are, to help young Sarah with her school project on ancient Egypt. At first, Rotten Ralph is dismissive of Sarah's enthusiasm, but then he learns that the ancient Egyptians were the first people to have cats for pets. Of course, Rotten Ralph's efforts to help tend to backfire, even when he is actually trying to do something for Sarah rather than just for himself. Still, in the end, Rotten Ralph is able to help out in the end.

What makes this book fun is that every little thing Sarah does, from dancing to shaking hands, has something to do with ancient Egypt. Gantos and Rubel work in about a dozen such factoids all within the context of the story (and Sarah's research). Rotten Ralph is news to me, although I have since learned he has been misbehaving in books for a quarter of a century and in now finding news ways of being bad in an animated series (in Greece, Rotten Ralph is known as Ralf o Kakomathimenos, a.k.a. Ralph the Badly Behaved). A book like "Rotten Ralph Helps Out" is the sort that would make a teacher of young students want to do a unit on the ancient Egyptians, even if they were not thinking of doing so. However, Kiara, my own cat, refrained from making any comments on this book whatsoever...
