Ralph is a young mouse who lives with his family in an old hotel.
Ralph, like any young one halfway between childhood and adulthood, desires to be more independent from his family. His tale begins when he discovers a toy motorcycle that belongs to a young guest at the hotel. Ralph and the young boy become friends, and soon Ralph is enjoying many adventures, all of which involve the wonderful toy motorcycle.“The Mouse and the Motorcycle” teaches important lessons about being responsible. Ralph learns that the freedom that the motorcycle gives him does not come without responsibility. “The Mouse and the Motorcycle” was first copyrighted in 1965, and since then this book and its two sequels have been enjoyed by children of all ages. I would recommend this book as a great gift for kids.

I read The Mouse And The Motorcycle when I was in fourth grade. I loved it because it was a simple, clear, and imaginative story. While it may seem a bit limited to adults, it is right on most childrens levels. It is kind of exciting thinking about a little mouse riding around on a toy motorcycle. Plus, there is very little that is obejctionable in this story. I don't think there is any message in this story other than to help people spark their imagination.
