I read this books as a kid and the phrase "not that measly mouse again" is still stuck in my head to this day. Great kids book with wonderful illustrations.

The Runaway Rollerskate, John Vernon Lord
I always had the impression that this was a well-known and much love classic, however with only one other review listed here in Goodreads I find that odd.
Wonderfully quirky and intriguing fun story of a stolen roller-skate. Great book for reading out loud to others. ****
