Product Description
From Amazon
"Pb-pb-b-b-b. Pb-pb-b-b-b." With these magic vocables, Ralph the mouse revs up a dream come true--his very own motorcycle. Living in a knothole in a hotel room, young Ralph has seen plenty of families come and go, some more generous with their crumbs than others. But when young Keith and his parents check in to the hotel, Ralph gets his first chance to check out. He has always fantasized about venturing beyond the second floor, maybe even outside. Curiosity overcomes caution, and Ralph must have a go at Keith's toy motorcycle. Soon, the headstrong mouse finds himself in a pickle, when all he wanted was to ride a motorcycle. Lucky for him, the boy understands how it is. When he discovers Ralph in his thwarted attempt to abscond with the toy bike, Keith generously encourages the rodent to ride. He even teaches him the simple trick of starting the motorcycle: "You have to make a noise... pb-pb-b-b-b." The subsequent situations Ralph motors into require quick thinking and grownup-sized courage. The team of Beverly Cleary and Louis Darling has been a great favorite for decades, introducing young chapter readers to Ramona, Beezus, Henry, and of course Ralph the mouse. (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Pb, pb, pb, don't forget to wear your helmet!,
By Vera C. Fran "book nut" (British Columbia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mouse And The Motorcycle (Paperback)
A very entertaining tale about a boy, a mouse, a motorcycle and a hotel. Beverly Cleary creates a classic tale incorporating ideas of responsibility, friendship and acceptance. Suitable for ages 5-12, adults will enjoy it too. Come along for the ride with Ralph the Mouse and Keith, his new found human friend, as they weave and race around a plot, that if anything, poses too many ideas and does not lack for variety. I loved it.

Wonderful!! A classic book for all ages.,
By Dash (Thousand Oaks, Ca (USA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mouse And The Motorcycle (Paperback)
There are probably over 900 zillion books out there, and of all of them, this is my favorite. I love the cute sketches, witty little humor, and imaginative storyline. "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" follows the "tail" of Ralph the mouse, who's dream is to just spend those wonderful hours riding down the hallway on a red motorcycle, and keeping the bond between him and Keith (the boy) alive. I've already read the book over 20 times, and still don't get tired of it. Defenitely a treasure of all of Beverly Cleary's stories.

By A Customer
This review is from: Mouse And The Motorcycle (Paperback)
The Mouse and the Motorcycle is about a boy mouse named Ralph, who lives in a mouse hole in room # 215. He finds this motorcycle which belongs to a boy named Keith. Keith teaches Ralph how to ride the motorcycle. I enjoyed reading this amazing book. I think it should be 4/5 stars, because it was about a great adventure.
