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.

Work Description

The Mouse and the Motorcycle is a children's novel written by Beverly Cleary and published in 1965. It is the first in a trilogy featuring Ralph S. Mouse, a house mouse who can speak to humans (though typically only children), goes on adventures riding his miniature motorcycle, and who longs for excitement and independence while living with his family in a run-down hotel.

The book was released as a selection of the Weekly Reader Children's Book Club (Intermediate Division) and won the William Allen White Children's Book Award in 1968.
