Illustrated by
Charise Mericle Harper.
Ralph's World will be familiar to Disney Channel viewers; this book based on a dozen of Ralph's songs will appeal primarily to those existing fans. The lyrics, although witty and child-centered, don't always translate well to the page, and reading them aloud without knowing the tunes is perplexing. Harper's playful illustrations reinforce the lighthearted mood. Chord charts and a CD are included.
