This is the first book I bought when I was pregnant and finally reading it with my son is a moment I won’t forget. The book was as good as I remembered and he was in love with the story. Now on to Runway Ralph!

I read this and the others as a kid and loved them. I’m having fun revisiting them!

Sweet, funny, creative--a joy from start to finish. The scenes of Ralph S. Mouse zipping about on his motorcycle through the rooms and halls of the rundown hotel are worth the price of admission alone (though I did have trouble imagining what the motorcycle sounds he makes [pb-pb-b-b-b] really translate into :).

The adventures Ralph has as he explores the hotel are both fun and suspenseful (the latter esp. as the reader learns about the sad fates of some of Ralph’s uncles and aunts at the hands of maids, owls, etc.).

Add to these the wonderful friendship that grows between Ralph and his new human friend, Keith, as they console one another about how long it takes to grow up, as they learn about responsibility and forgiveness, and as they demonstrate that, while the best-laid plans of mice and men might “gang aft agley”, those between mice and boys sometimes go just fine :)

Another sweet and adorable book by Cleary, bringing back some of my best memories from childhood.

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.

Read-aloud with my boy who shares a love with other boys and mice of all things motorcycle

This one is an immortal classic. I loved it as a kid and found it adorable as an adult. It's cute and sweet. The perfect early middle grade and likely one of the best choices for introducing chapter books.

What a delightful book! Can't wait to read it with my 3rd graders!

A childhood favorite that I just got to read with my daughter. It’s not the best book, or the highest literature. But you know, it’s just nostalgic and sweet and fun and even more so now.

Rereading this book 30 years after the first time, brings back memories of how my imagination worked as a child. Such a fun story!
