RIBSY

In Beverly Cleary's popular novel Ribsy, "the friendliest, most companionable dog in the world," gets separated from his beloved owner, Henry Huggins. Barbara Caruso gives a competent but uninspired reading. The delivery is clear, her enunciation careful and the tone friendly. However, the slow pace seems inappropriate to the lively adventures of Ribsy as he tries to find his way back to Klickitat Street. Fans of Beverly Cleary may be disappointed.
