THE RED HOT RATTOONS A GREAT READ ALOUD!
In a column called CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS, Rob Reid in Booklinks selects THE RED HOT RATTOONS as a Great Read Aloud. Not to be missed for its “flowing text, engaging storytelling and interesting topics that appeal to a wide range of students.”
In the FULL CAST AUDIO unabridged version of THE RED HOT RATTOONS, the author narrates the story while live actors play each of the 79 characters. You can order it here.
“The young cast of rattoons proves a fine-tuned troupe, conveying childlike naivete and lots of comic moments…solidly entertaining adaptation of Winthrop’s funny and adventure-filled tale.” -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“The rats of NIMH have nothing on Benny, Fletcher, Ella, Woody and Monk, five young jazz and tap dancing rats who set out for the fabled Big City in hopes of seeing their names in lights. Rat Hollow, which mirrors the thinly disguised New York aboveground, provides a side-splitting backdrop to this engaging tale of life on (and beneath) the boards.” -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
