5.0 out of 5 stars Ralph S. Mouse audio-book has a wonderful atmosphere!, June 27, 2001

This review is from: Ralph S. Mouse (Audio Cassette)

My son and I just finished listening with rapt attention to the audio version of "Ralph S. Mouse," which is wonderfully read by actor William Roberts. Beverly Cleary's third book in her "Mouse and the Motorcycle" series comes to life with Roberts' many voices for characters such as Ralph, the hotel handyman Matt, and Ryan, who tries to save Matt's job by bringing Ralph to school. This audio-book is just over 2 hours long, which is ideal for use as a classroom "read-aloud," or in a car on a family trip, or for just sitting around with the family for a good listen. This tale has a wonderful atmosphere, from the threadbare carpets in the hotel, to the shiny floors at the school, where Ralph dreams of racing his motorcycle at night. This fantasy has so many true-to-life touches it fits many children's dreams of having a pet mouse in your pocket that you can talk to. Ralph has become standard fare in our elementary school library, and this audio-book is just one more fun way to experience this lovable mouse!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ralph S. Mouse, April 29, 2000

This review is from: Ralph S. Mouse (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (School & Library Binding)

Ralph "Smart" Mouse is fed up with living at the country inn with his rowdy mouse cousins who always want to ride his motorcycle. When his pal Ryan Bramble takes him to school, Ralph is delighted with his new home and instant rise to fame. But Ralph doesn't like it one bit when he's in a mouse exhibit and a reporter writes that there are mice throughout the school! What's worse is Ryan's quarrels with his classmate, Brad, who ends up breaking Ralph's motorcycle. Can anything replace his treasured motorcycle? Why can't they all be friends?

As usual the little things, dow to Ralph's learning to say vroom-vroom-vroom, not pb-b-b, pb-b-b (The motorcycle noise) to start his car and moorv (vroom backwards) to back it up, tune readers in to Ralph's experience.
