Living in a knothole in hotel room 215, Ralph the mouse longs for something to happen. When a young hotel guest arrives with a toy motorcycle, Ralph's whiskers quiver with excitement! As soon as the boy leaves the room, Ralph scrambles out from behind the wall and up the telephone wire to the end table. He climbs aboard the toy motorcycle and rides straight into trouble! Luckily the boy returns, and Ralph finds himself in a new adventure. Once a mouse can ride a motorcycle...almost anything is possible. --back cover
An adorable just-so classic with real but relatable stakes, sightly fantastic but truly grounded story beats, and a setting that gets more "period" by the day. We ended up reading the last four chapters all at once because the kids were so gripped by the urgent quest Ralph must undertake. "We have to find out what happens!!"
