So appealing, so delightful, and yet when you think about it, deeply weird.

Read-aloud that had my 2nd grade son asking for one more chapter. "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" is fun story with a nice ending about what it means to grow up.

Review from an 8-year-old:

"This book is about a mouse and a motorcycle that he rides when he goes out of a mouse-hole and onto a dresser. He thinks to himself, 'I bet I can ride that,' and later on he can.
The motorcycle belongs to a boy named Keith. Keith and the mouse (Ralph) become friends. It is interesting because Keith and the mice can talk to each other but no one else can understand mouse talk.
Ralph has many adventures. My favorite part is when Ralph has to get a pill for Keith, who gets a fever.

I would give this book 6 stars- the best!"
