Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings her understanding and warmth to every page of this wonderful story of a ""bad boy.""

When it comes to stirring up a little excitement in class, Otis Spofford knows just what to do. He can turn a folk dance fiesta into a three-ring circus . . . or an arithmetic lesson into a spitball marathon.

Best of all, Otis likes teasing neat, well-behaved Ellen Tebbits—until the day his teasing goes too far. Now Otis is nervous, because Ellen isn't just mad . . . she's planning something!

      Otis Spofford lives to stir up excitement. This spunky 8-year-old loves to bend the rules whenever possible and make trouble for friend and foe alike whenever he feels slighted or upstaged. Beverly Cleary's ability to look out at the world from inside a child's head couples with narrator Johnny Heller's light, child-like tone of voice to produce an amusing, whimsical listening experience. Heller's easy delivery also produces convincing portrayals of the teenagers and adults in the story, and demonstrates his ability to convey a wide range of emotions with seemingly no effort. This production is a delightful addition to any children's collection. J.J.F. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
