I really enjoyed The Mouse and the Motorcyle when I was younger and thought I might like this one. I think this is a cute and funny book that most kids might like. Ralph gets fed up and wants to go to school. He eventually gets discovered by the kids. Kids will like the adventure side of Ralph and the humor in the book. I would use this book when talking about friends and relationships.

Actually, I forget. But I know I read it.

My two girls ages 4 and 8 really enjoyed this book. I read it aloud to them a chapter at a time before they went to bed at night. I found it very dull and not one I would recommend. Hey maybe this is what put them to sleep each night ;)

Beverly Cleary is a must have collection for those students who are ready for a more challenging text.
Independent read for higher level readers. Great read aloud in 2nd through 4th.

We just finished reading this in school. It was good and at the end of the book Ralph got a sport car because somebody broke his motorcycle.

C'mon -- a mouse on a motorcycle? How long must I suspend my disbelief in this illogical series? Were these books written for children?
Read in January, 1986
I thought Ralph was an interesting character, but overall I didn't relate to him as much as when Ms. Cleary writes realistic fiction.

A Mouse and a Motorcycle and then...an adventure. I didn't know that talking mice could make me so weepy...

Listening to this in the van with my four year old. It's fun.
The reader was annoying.
