Mystery on the Dock

Written by Thacher Hurd

Narrated by John Beach

"This delightful adventure comes alive with the sound effects of its waterfront setting...The hero, an opera loving rat named Ralph, is a short order cook at the diner on Pier 46. When two customers run out without paying, Ralph follows them and finds himself thrown in a cargo hold with Eduardo Bombasto, his favorite opera singer, who is being held for ransom by the villainous rodents...Narrator John Beach effortlessly handles the voices of all the characters...The Italian music which accompanies the story, is a great enhancement, breathing life into the short picture book...a great readalong for individuals or small groups." - School Library Journal
