A motorcycle fit for a mouse… Close up the motorcycle looked even better than he expected.It was new and shiny and had a good set of tires.Ralph walked all the way around it, examining the pair of chromium mufflers and the engine and the hand clutch.It even had a little license plate so it would be legal to ride it….

The Mouse and the Motorcycle:
Book Review by Layla C.
My favorite part in this book is when Ralph, the mouse, gets permission from Keith, the boy, to keep the motorcycle when Keith leaves the hotel. I like this part because it shows how much Keith and Ralph bonded with each other. Even though Ralph lost the motorcycle once, they found it, and Ralph got to keep it. This connects to my life because once I won a big, inflatable, bright green monkey at a fair. My younger brother Alex really wanted it, and I decided that, in the end, I should give it to him. I absolutely loved this book!
This story begins within the walls of a castle, with the birth of a mouse.A small mouse.The last mouse born to his parents and the only one of his litter to be born alive….
Fifth grade Reading Road Trippers are exploring The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread, connecting to this charming 2004 Newbery Medal winning fairy tale about Despereaux Tilling, a tiny mouse with big ears and an even bigger heart.Despereaux’s unusual talents and decidedly un-mouselike behavior bring disappointment to his family and earn him a trip to the castle dungeon.As we follow the tale—and the tail—of the mouse, we meet the kidnapped princess who Despereaux loves, a servant girl wishing to be royalty, and a sneaky rat who is conniving to ruin them all.
