Ralph S. Mouse

I liked the book because it was about a mouse, and I love animals. It wasn't the best book, but I enjoyed when Ryan's mother and Brad's dad got married at the end of the book. They became step-brothers.

This chapter book would be something that boys would like. It is about a boy and a mouse so i think boys could really enjoy it. It also has to do with a mouse riding a motorcycle and i feel like all boys would like to read something like that.

good book for the people who enjoyed Stuart Little. It is about the mouse named Ralph goes to his friend, Ryan's school to find somewhere to live.

Ralph S. Mouse is a nice break from the other young reader novels that I have been picking up for nursing time with my infant. It isn't all that consuming, and there were a few moments I found that I was at least chuckling internally.

I might be a fairly strict parent when it comes to words my small

children can use, but I found myself cringing as much as chuckling. While there were certainly no words that I wouldn't say in front of my grandparents, there were uses of other words that I found myself editing. Yes, Cleary grasped how children (and mice?) speak, but in a book attempting to teach lessons, words such as stupid to describe another person seemed out of place.

I remember the Beverly Cleary series being one of my favorite while growing up in elementary school. Ralph S. Mouse lives in a hotel under an old grandfather clock. Almost all of his relatives live upstairs and some live downstairs. Ralph has a middle name and a last name just like people. His

middle name is Smart and his last name is Mouse. He has a motorcycle that he loves to ride through the halls. His relatives get greedy because he won't share with them. They call him greedy and stupid and he gets mad at everyone and puts it away and goes to sleep under the clock. He wakes up the next morning and goes to school in Ryan's yellow parka coat, where he soon becomes a science experiment conducted by Ryan's class...! This book was much better when I was younger, but I enjoyed revisiting my childhood.

Cleary, B. (1982). Ralph S. Mouse. New York: Morrow Junior Books.

Adventures continue with Ryan Brambie and his pet mouse, Ralph Smart Mouse. One night, Ralph rides his motorcycle, causing dirt streaks across the floor of the inn. The next morning, Mr. Minch, the inn’s manager, yells at Matt, the

desk clerk. Mr. Minch complains that dried mud covers the floor; the inn smells “mousey;” and mouse droppings are everywhere. Ralph believes that he is to blame for getting Matt in trouble. He then decides to leave the inn to prevent Matt from losing his job. Where does Ralph go? He goes to school with Ryan. Thinking that his problems are gone, Ralph discovers that he must run a maze to demonstrate his intelligence.

This animal fantasy is convincing. Cleary helps readers to imagine a world where the human world is not always so kind to animals, especially to little, helpless mice. The author gives Ralph a range of emotions. He is prideful in the beginning of the book, and humbled at the end of the story. The framework of the story is consistent. He talks to several humans, all who understand him. The underlying truths of the story are perseverance through adversity and the love and acceptance of a family.
Ralph S. Mouse is a perfect introduction to fantasy for children. It could be compared to other animal fantasies, such as the Bunnicula.

Ralph is a very adventures mouse. he likes to go and get new things and make new friends . Ralph can talk to humans and that is not normal, and he only can because he watches a lot of tv with kids and listens to kids problems.

I like this book far less than the previous two. This one seemed a lot less entertaining and the boys seemed a lot meaner than in the first two books. The things the boys did to Ralph were rather cruel and mean. It almost reminded me of Lord of the Flies in a sense. Was an ok read. The author's

sentence structure is a bit hard to follow but maybe that's just me. All-in-all I liked the first 2 books much better than this one.
