Fed up with his family, Ralph decides to hop on his motorcycle and head down the road to Happy Acres Camp. Unfortunately, life at camp is not all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! A strict watchdog, a mouse-hungry cat, and a troubled boy named Garf keep Ralph on his toes and away from his precious motorcycle. Perhaps home is not such a bad place to be, if only Ralph can find a way to get there again!
What a treat! This classic, originally published in 1970, proves its staying power in this entertaining audio edition. The tale continues the adventures of Ralph, that extraordinary mouse star of THE MOUSE AND THE MOTORCYCLE. Tired of his boring life at the Mountain View Inn, frustrated by nagging elders and annoying younger siblings and cousins, he decides to leave in search of "a life of speed and danger and excitement." B. D. Wong tells Ralph's story with energy, enthusiasm, and humor. He creates a believable world in which a mouse can talk to certain open-minded humans and ride off on adventures with a crash helmet on his head and a "pb-pb-b-b-b" sound to energize the motorcycle.
