Publisher's summary

Ralph is not like the other mice at the Mountain View Inn. He is always looking for adventure. It is Ralph's lucky day when a young guest named Keith arrives with a shiny miniature motorcycle. Right away, Ralph knows that the motorcycle is special - and made to be ridden by an adventurous mouse. And once a mouse can ride a motorcycle...almost anything can happen!

Mouse tales: don't miss Ralph's adventures in Ralph S. Mouse (Unabridged) and Runaway Ralph (Unabridged).

Dramatic Reading

BD Wong is a gifted story teller. He doesn't just read, he acts. This dramatic reading includes appropriate voices and sound effects that makes the presentation enjoyable for the entire family in a car ride, or during family reading night.

Wonderful

This is a wonderful story for all ages...it's charming funny and the characters are delightful! My 9 year old and my 74 year old mother just loved listening in the car while we traveled thru the east coast.

Great story and reading!

What a great listen for a long ride! My 6 yr old was completely interested and my 5 yr old was mostly engaged. The reading and character voices were wonderful. :)

Great story

This was a great book for us to listen to on a road trip. The story was interesting and exciting for the kids. My only complaint is the narrator made Ralph sound like an old, grumpy man at times. The mother’s voice was also dreadful too. Overall we would listen again and will be buying the next book.

B.D. Wong brought this classic tale to LIFE!

I have read the Exquisite Children’s Novel aloud in my Classroom several times and love the characters, especially the secondary ones! This rendition will be loved by young and old! Bravo!
