Runaway Ralph (Ralph Mouse, #2) (Ralph S. Mouse)

by Beverly Cleary

Louis Darling (Illustrator)

Ralph, an energetic young mouse, is tired of life at the Mountain view Inn. Over the Fourth of July weekend a boy named Keith gave him a mouse-sized motorcycle, but since then nothing exciting has happened. Hoping to find adventure, Ralph hops on his motorcycle and zooms away to the summer camp down the road. There he envisions fun, freedom, and delicious crumbs from peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches. Instead he runs headlong into a strict camp watchdog, a mouse-hungry cat, and even more fur-raising escapades. Suddenly home doesn't seem like such a bad place to be.

Reviews

[inlibrisveritas]

Something about a little mouse with a toy motorcycle and half a ping pong ball as a helmet won me over as I kid when my teacher read this to us. I have this on my shelf now and it's one of the few books I've re-read more then 3 times.
