Summary: 5 Stars
"Ralph!" cried his frightened mother, "you haven't been associating with PEOPLE!" That may seem a rather unfriendly thing to say, but Ralph is a mouse. And people are...well..the enemy. Aren't they?
But Ralph has discovered a boy named Keith who can understand his language (and vice versa). Ralph has also discovered Keith has the most fabulous, fantastic, mouse-sized motorcycle, and Ralph is crazy about it. To Keith it is a small, motorless, favorite toy. To Ralph it is the real thing!
And so the secret friendship blossoms: Keith loves Ralph and Ralph loves Keith's motorcycle, which Ralph is allowed to borrow to become involved in all kinds of dangerous (for a mouse) and fun adventures and misadventures. You'll chuckle all the way through.
[Modern fantasy suitable for the intermediate grades.]

Summary: 4 Stars
Ralph the mouse lived in California at the Mountain Veiw Inn. Keith a young boy, was on vacation when he stayed in the same exact room as Ralph and they formed an unlikely friendship. On Kieth's vacation he brings three cars a motorcycle, ambulance, and a sports car. While Kieth was gone Ralph looked interested in the motorcycle. He decided to try and ride it. He was attempting to ride it on the dresser, but fell off into the wastebasket. When Kieth came back he noticed Ralph and tipped the trashcan to let Ralph out and that was the beginning of a spectacular relationship. During the course of the book, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary, Ralph has many life threatening adventures on the motorcycle. Ralph got himself into some terrible predicaments when he was not in his security spot, which is knot hole in the hotel room. Ralph leaves you in suspense of what is going to happen next. I highly recommend The Mouse and the Motorcycle because it is filled with wild adventures and some emotional parts too!Book Review: Great lessons -- and it's funny too!
Summary: 5 Stars
Both of my children adored this book and IÕm kind of fond of it myself. ItÕs just a cute little story about a friendship between a mouse who lives in an old, run-down hotel and a boy who stays at the hotel over a long weekend. The mouse learns to ride the boyÕs toy motorcycle, which thrills them both (and also thrilled my kids), but gets the mouse into a number of scrapes, including losing the motorcycle. Eventually the mouse learns to be more responsible and to care more about others, and earns back his precious motorcycle. I like the bookÕs message Š that the more responsible you are, the more privileges you get. ThatÕs something IÕm always trying to teach my kids, and I appreciate the help this book offers in getting the message across. But even more, I love Beverly ClearyÕs light touch, her sense of humor, and her obvious respect for children. She teaches important lessons in a nice way. ItÕs no surprise that she one of most childrenÕs favorite writers.Book Review: The Mouse and the Motorcycle

Book Review: The Mouse and the Motorcycle
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine you're three inches tall, and you could ride a red, chromed out, motorcycle. Well Ralph the mouse can and he loves it. If you like humorous books and curious mice, you should read The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleverly.
This book takes place in an old hotel in room 215. The characters are a young, curious, dare devil mouse Ralph, and a young, lively, kid Keith. Keith has a red motorcycle, and Keith lets Ralph ride it because Keith thinks it's cool, because how many mice do you know that can drive around on a drive. They become good friends fast. Ralph rides the motorcycle all around the Hotel, but Keith comes down with a bad fever what will Ralph do?
I recommend this book for all ages, it's funny and entertaining. Ralph was a mixed character; he was funny, happy, sad, serious, and scared through out the whole out the book. This book will be for the family and everyone else.
