Review: The Mouse and the Motorcycle

The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A little boy named Keith and his family stop at a hotel while on vacation, where he meets a mouse named Ralph. Ralph is totally in love with Keith's toy motorcycle. He decides to climb on it and that's where the story takes off. Ralph's mom is fearful for him and tries to convince him to leave Keith alone, but they soon become good friends.

I remember watching the movie for this book as a kid and thinking it was so cool, so when my kids brought home the Scholastic order form and I saw it on there (actually the whole set), I knew I had to get it for them. My 3rd grader had already had it read to him in story time at school so he really didn't want to hear it (so he said), but was actually glued to the story when I read it. My first grader enjoyed it very much since this was his first exposure to it.
