Ralph is a medium-sized mouse who lives in the Mountain View Inn. The Mouse and the Motorcycle is a marvelously imaginative story delivered with just the right blend of adventure and fun. Maybe I just love the idea of a young mouse who trills with the speed of a tiny red motorcycle trimmed with shiny chrome and dual exhausts.
Maybe I remember being a bit irresponsible and wanting so much to grow up. There’s just something about that precocious little fella that gets me every time. As a kid, I dearly loved Ramona, but my all-time favorite Cleary character has to be Ralph S. In honor of Beverly Cleary, who passed this year at the age of 104, I’ve chosen three of her works for this week’s MMGM.
