RALPH S. MOUSE

In this installment in Cleary's beloved Mouse and the Motorcycle trilogy, Ralph has problems. His motorcycle is suffering wear and tear from his nightly excursions, and his adoring relatives are messing up the hotel lobby where they live. Yet the "S" stands for Smart, and Ralph calculates that the mysterious place called "school" might hold the solution to his problems. BD Wong brings the characters of the Mountain View Hotel and the Irwin J. Sneed Elementary School to life. Ralph and “his boy,” Ryan, are as vibrant and intertwined as any two characters can be‚ pouting over tiffs and rejoicing over victories. Wong's supporting characters are distinct‚ from imperious hotel manager, Mr. Minch, to creative classroom teacher Miss K. A.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
