The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Cleary Beverly

Author: بورلی کلی‌یری (Cleary Beverly)

”Boy!” said Ralph to himself, his whiskers quivering with excitement. ”Boy, oh boy!” Feeling that this was an important moment in his life, he took hold of the handgrips. They felt good and solid beneath his paws. Yes, this motorcycle was a good machine all right.

Ralph the mouse ventures out from behind the piney 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 – right to the bottom of a metal wastebasket. Luckily, Keith, the owner of the motorcycle, returns to find his toy. Keith rescues Ralph and teaches him how to ride the bike. Thus begins a great friendship and many awesome adventures. Once a mouse can ride a motorcyle … almost anything can happen!

I haven’t watched this movie since I was in fifth grade when my teacher showed The Motorcycle and the Mouse movie to the class and years later to stumbled upon the book was definitely a treat. It’s a charming read with a super charismatic mouse and a kind little boy named Keith. Their love for motorcycles and automobiles is the glue to their special friendship. Ralph’s magic ability to operate a toy motorcycle with saying pb-pb-h-h-h sounds is awe-inspiring. When Ralph travels the halls of Mountain View Inn- you can expect adventure, humor, and fun for kids (and adults). I highly recommend this wonderful book!

So appealing, so delightful, and yet when you think about it, deeply weird. Jessica                                                                                                  rated it: 5.0 from 5.0 

I thought that it was nice of Keith to let Ralph have his motorcycle because it was his favorite toy. I loved the helmet Keith made for Ralph out of a ping pong ball. Ralph loved his crash helmet. This book reminds me of Stuart Little. Sam                                                                                                    rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
