Runaway Ralph

De: Beverly Cleary

Narrado por: B.D. Wong

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary ramps up the humor and adventure in the second book in the Ralph S. Mouse trilogy.

With a motorcycle to rev and the open road to see, Ralph S. Mouse is itching to run away from his overprotective family! But once he escapes to a summer campground nearby, the horrors of the wild make him doubt his plan. Angry cats, scary watchdogs, and grouchy gophers are only the half of it...

But then he befriends Garf, a sad and friendless boy at the camp. Though he wants desperately to be back home with his relatives, Ralph realizes that he may need to help Garf before he can help himself.

Runaway Ralph is perfect for independent reading or for shared reading at home or in a classroom. This fun story is the second of a trilogy, along with The Mouse and the Motorcycle and Ralph S. Mouse, all inspired by the author's hope to create appealing books for boys and girls—and by the sight of her son playing with toy cars.

Wonderful Story to enjoy with a child

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I read this book with my 10 year old grandson and we enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend it to a parent/grandparent/child team.

What other book might you compare Runaway Ralph to and why?

It is a gentle story similar in feel to 'Stuart Little' or 'Charlotte's Web'. The character learns much about life and lessons are 'taught' without being moralistic. The character's naivete and the author's touch of humour is very endearing.

Have you listened to any of B. D. Wong’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

B.D Wong also narrates the other book in the 'Ralph' series. His voice animates the mouse perfectly.

Exciting Story

Your story was great. I love how you made the mouse on the Motorcycle seem like he traveled everywhere but then let the people pick him up.
