Review

In this humor filled book we meet Louie and Ralphie Ratso - the Ratso brothers want to make trouble - they seek ways to cause it (they believe it will make them look tough). But some how they always end up doing a good deed. There's a big snow storm and their plan is to shovel all the snow on the sidewalks to bury the entrance of the local grocery store - but instead shovel the path to Mr. O'Hare's store clear. He is so thankful he tells all the neighbors what a great deed the brothers did. Each chapter is a story of another deed gone "wrong" in the eyes of the brothers.

This is a fun book for the early chapter reader as well and the reluctant reader.

Overall Book Score: good
