The Mouse and the Motorcycle [Hardcover]

In this imaginative adventure from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, a young mouse named Ralph is thrown into a world of excitement when a boy and his shiny toy motorcycle check into the Mountain View Inn.

When the ever-curious Ralph spots Keith's red toy motorcycle, he vows to ride it. So when Keith leaves the bike unattended in his room one day, Ralph makes his move. But with all this freedom (and speed!) come a lot of obstacles. Whether dodging a rowdy terrier or keeping his nosy cousins away from his new wheels, Ralph has a lot going on! With a pal like Keith always looking out for him, there's nothing this little mouse can't handle.

Supports the Common Core State Standards

Ralph the mouse craves excitement, but it seldom comes along to his mousehole in the sleepy Mountain View Inn. That all changes when a boy named Keith comes to the inn with his family. Ralph soon sees Keith playing with a toy motorcycle that's the perfect size for a mouse!

When Ralph sneaks out to try the motorcycle, his mother is sure he'll come to no good. Instead, it's just the beginning—for Ralph's motorcycling adventures and, even better, for an unexpected friendship.

Beverly Cleary's humorous fantasy adventure has delighted millions of fans worldwide. This engaging classic roars to life with brand-new illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers, and one of the most appealing characters you'll ever meet!
