The Mouse and the Motorcycle, by Beverly Cleary #2438 "Boy!" said Ralph to himself, his whiskers quivering with excitement. He felt that this was an important moment in his life. Ralph the mouse ventures out from behind the knothole in the wall of his hotel room home, scrambles up the telephone wire to the end table, and climbs aboard the toy motorcycle left there by a young guest. His thrill ride does not last long. The ringing telephone startles Ralph, and he and the motorcycle take a terrible fall into the wastebasket. Luckily, Keith, the owner of the toy motorcycle returns. Keith rescues Ralph and teaches him how to ride the bike. Thus begins a great friendship and many awesome adventures.Related product
