The Nine Lives of Rotten Ralph

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Nicole Rubel. Ralph awakens with the kitty equivalent of a hangover after a night of carousing. The vet's dire diagnosis: "Your cat has used up eight of his nine lives." Rubel's sly caricatures recount how each life got starved, shaken, and snowballed away in previous books. Will Ralph now adhere to Sarah's prescription of an extra-cautious ninth life? His fans already know the answer.
