Ralph's World - Ralph Covert
Ralph engages his young fans with activity songs, story songs, dancing songs, and a healthy dose of pure silliness. Covert has four illustrated books for children: the non-fiction "Sawdust And Spangles" illustrated by Giselle Potter; "Ralph's World Rocks!," a collection of lyrics brought to life by Charise Harper; "A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas," with drawings by Wilson Swain (based on the play); and "Me And My Animal Friends" with art by Laurie Keller who also created the booklet for "All Around Ralph's World." The important link between music and reading will be emphasized at these concerts.
