El ratoncito de la moto: The Mouse and the Motorcycle (Spanish edition)

Por Beverly Cleary y Louis Darling

"Boy!" said Ralph to himself, his whiskers quivering with excitement. "Boy, oh boy!" Feeling that this was an important moment in his life, he took hold of the handgrips. They felt good and solid beneath his paws. Yes, this motorcycle was a good machine all right.

Ralph the mouse ventures out from behind the piney knothole in the wall of his hotel-room home, scrambles up the telephone wire to the end table, and climbs aboard the toy motorcycle left there by a young guest. His thrill ride does not last long. The ringing telephone startles Ralph, and he and the motorcycle take a terrible fall—right to the bottom of a metal wastebasket. Luckily, Keith, the owner of the motorcycle, returns to find his toy. Keith rescues Ralph and teaches him how to ride the bike. Thus begins a great friendship and many awesome adventures. Once a mouse can ride a motorcyle . . . almost anything can happen!

This is a high-quality Spanish language edition of the beloved Beverly Cleary classic.

Ralph es un ratoncito aburrido de vivir siempre con su famalia en la habitacion de un viejo hotel. Un dia, descubre que la habitacion esta ocupada por un chico mut aficionado a todo aquello que tenga que ver con al motor y que ademas posee una buena coleccion de coches y motos de juguete. Cuando nadie lo ve, Ralph sube a la mesita de noche donde se encuentra estacionada la moto que le tiene robado el corazon. . .

Y encima de la moto, ¿de que no va a ser capaz un ratoncito motorizado?

Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up. Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

Sweet and silly, I love that the motorcycle goes when the noise is made.

[zoes_human · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I loved this book so much as a kid. It is no doubt responsible for how much I like mice.

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Read this more than once as a child, and then again aloud to my sweetheart Ralph and my youngest son. So much fun.

[jill.haner · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I'll admit I read this in like the second grade, so technically I'm not new to the book. But I read it again this semester and remembered why I loved it. The concept is brilliant, having your only real friend be something nobody else would go near and would in fact try to kill, is an excellent way of showing how lonely they both were. I think that really speaks to children that you can always find a friend, you just have to look somewhere unexpected. And of course the action packed scenes to get the aspirin were as thrilling as ever, especially as I couldn't remember how he did it. It was like reading it for the first time all over again.

The genre of this book is fantasy. (EduCreations Review) Ralph, a mouse who lives in a knothole in a hotel room is excited to find a toy motorcycle brought to the room by a young guest. To his surprise, and to the surprise of his family, he makes friends with the owner of the motorcycle, Keith, who lets him ride the motorcycle. Sadly, Ralph loses it, and loses Keith's trust as well. Ralph has to be brave, and repay Keith for his kindness by traveling to the ground floor of the hotel for the adventure of his life! This book would be appropriate for 3rd-5th graders.

[jaclynpoe · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

The Mouse and the Motorcycle is about a mouse named Ralph, his friend Keith, and Keith's motorcycle. The tale encompasses many adventures. The main theme of this book is friendship, and the lengths some will go to for a friend. This is a great book to use when teaching children valuable lessons on meeting new friends, and moving away from good friends. I would suggest this book to children in 3rd grade and up.

[crowyhead · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

The adventures of a mouse and his motorcycle. One of my all-time favorites as a kid.

[eric_j._guignard · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Super cute book! Read this to my four-year old son over the course of a week or two. He loved it and wants to continue reading the adventures of Ralph in future volumes.

[cheriedooryard · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I read this out loud to my kids because so many people have fond memories of it, though this was one I skipped in my own childhood. I found it...dull. Really dull. One of those kid books with no actual discernible plot: there's a mouse, he rides a motorcycle, he loses it, he finds it. That's...it. The kids were happy to listen to it, but they didn't clamor for it either. Meh. This ain't no Ramona.

[abbylibrarian_1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Another childhood book that I revisited via audiobook. The recording was fine with lots of character voices. Though the voices weren't exactly my cup of tea, they're appropriate for the audience.

[mainrun · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I read this book, or it was read to me, in the 1970's. I have fond memories of it. This time was Ok, but it is one of those books that should have been left alone. It wasn't one of those books that have a layer that can be enjoyed by adults, but also children. It had a morale, and was an ok book, but the book did not have the magical effect it had on me when i read it as a child.

[stsmurphy · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

"Pb-pb-b-b-b. Pb-pb-b-b-b." With these magic vocables, Ralph the mouse revs up a dream come true--his very own motorcycle. Living in a knothole in a hotel room, young Ralph has seen plenty of families come and go, some more generous with their crumbs than others. But when young Keith and his parents check in to the hotel, Ralph gets his first chance to check out. He has always fantasized about venturing beyond the second floor, maybe even outside. Curiosity overcomes caution, and Ralph must have a go at Keith's toy motorcycle. Soon, the headstrong mouse finds himself in a pickle, when all he wanted was to ride a motorcycle. Lucky for him, the boy understands how it is. When he discovers Ralph in his thwarted attempt to abscond with the toy bike, Keith generously encourages the rodent to ride. He even teaches him the simple trick of starting the motorcycle: "You have to make a noise... pb-pb-b-b-b." The subsequent situations Ralph motors into require quick thinking and grownup-sized courage.

Summary: When a little mouse named Ralph has the chance to ride a motorcycle, he must now learn how to be responsible for your actions. This book portrays a typical young boy, or in this case a mouse, who is in love with adventure, and what better way to do so with a motorcycle in your hands. When Ralph has the opportunity to prove himself as responsible, he rises to the challenge to save his human friend from his sickness. This book displays a good fantasy through the talking animals and unrealistic activities, such as a mouse riding a motorcycle through a hotel. Critique: The characters in this book aren’t as descriptive and expressive as most books. Ralph is one of the only characters that is described, and his description is mostly his thoughts. I feel this book is a good book for a young boy to read because the main character has all the same feelings and emotions that most young boys have at that age. The topic and character are also much more related to young boys as well. Teacher Use: A teacher could present this book as an option for independent reading. The person who reads this particular book can then share with the class the plot, characters, and his feelings about the book during a sharing time. No Media

Ralph lived in a hotel and he always saw very interesting people. When a young boy checks into the hotel and he has many different toy cars and motorcycles. All Ralph wants to do is ride in all of them. Ralph rode the motorcycle one day and he fell into the trash can. His journey is both funny and adventurous.

[ecarroll_51 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

This was filled with exciting adventure overflowing with so much excitment I did not want to put this book down for any reason what so ever. I reccomend this book to anyone.

[mscrisso · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

This is a great book for second and third grade children. It is a great animal fantasy book. It tells of Ralph S. Mouse living in an old inn where he comes to life and has many adventures. He also acquires a motorcycle and also a new friend that moves into the inn. We read all about their adventures and laugh and imagine. A great book for kids to make their imaginations go wild. I think back to reading this book when I was a child and look forward to reading it with my children.

[greytfriend_1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Fantastic book. Easy to read and a great adventure. The characters are very appealing, especially the lead, Ralph the mouse. I would recommend this book for children of all ages. I found it especially useful for the in-between age where the kids want to read an adventure but get a bit scared by a lot of the themes and images in many books these days.

[melopher_1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Simple and sweet, this book tells the fun story of a mouse and a boy that share a love for a motorcycle. It's written simply enough for a child to read, but is fun to read aloud as well. There were some things that definitely dated the book, but nothing that made it unapproachable. It rather lent to it's charm.

[puffybear_1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

This book is a really good book. It is suitable for all ages. I really really enjoyed it. Beverly Cleary plots her stories really well. This is a must read book.

[salemsmith · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I think this book was OK. I think boys would like it more than girls and it would be suitable for grades 4-6. I would use this book in lessons on plot and climax because of the major events that take place in the story. I think kids may like this book because it is cute and has a happy ending.

[alyssajane · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I persanly think that this book is a good book for someone in lower grades,but besides that I think that this book is a good caring book for kids and friends.This book shows how friendships come together even though one is diffrent than the other.If you would like to read a good friendly book,here is the right book for you! If you have read this book and liked it you can read more about Ralph and his adventers in the 2nd book " Runaway Ralph

I bought a ton of Cleary books in a fit of nostalgia a while back, inspired by love of Ramona and classic children's books. Then I put them all on the shelf and read, oh, maybe one of them. Hello, my name is Nicole, and I am an addict.Inspired by this challenge, I pulled one off of those dusty shelves, one that I should have read long ago - The Mouse and the Motorcycle. It's a simple story, about a boy that leaves his toy motorcycle out, the mouse who wants to ride it, and the friendship they form. Ralph, the mouse, is a wonderful character of spunk, and Keith, the boy, is full of imagination and belief. In their world, it's not at all surprising that a toy motorcycle can be made to run just by making the sounds that a real motorcycle should make, and it's equally unsurprising that a mouse can talk. Only children, and child-like adults, can see and know these things. What is strongest about this book is that Cleary so comprehensively captures a child's world. The dialogue, the innocence, the way the world can feel so big, the small acts of bravery. The plot is simple, fun, and a bit heroic; exactly right for young children. I enjoyed my swift read of this old standard.

[lecowan · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

This book is about a young boy traveling with his parents during summer break. They end up at an outdated California hotel that has long lived its glory days. The boy makes friends with a young mouse who shares a common love of motorcycles with the boy. Through many situations for both the boy and the mouse, they form an unusual friendship built on a love of the boy’s toy motorcycle. At the end of this book the boy allows the mouse to keep his toy motorcycle to drive around the hotel and the mouse tells the boy it won’t be long until he, the boy, will be grownup enough to have his own motorcycle.I think the author of this book chose a very clever way to interpret a boy’s fascination with toys and a “creepy” creature. I particularly enjoyed the part where the mouse races the motorcycle up and down the hotel hallway and terrorizes the terrier in one of the other rooms. I also thought it was touching when the mouse risks his and his family’s lives to find the feverish boy an aspirin. The story would be good to have the children create a shadow box of. After the students created a shadow box, they could write or tell what their favorite part(s) of the story are and explain why. I also think this would be a good story for boys to read if they’re interested in motorcycles, toy cars or mice. This book would also be a good addition in a lesson dealing with friendship, traveling and growing up.

[sonya.contreras · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Beverly Cleary has a way of reaching into the minds of children and making the imagination become real. I do not remember how many times my boys have requested reading this book, but they laugh every time.

The idea of a mouse riding a toy motorcycle gives hope to any boy's imagination that anything is possible---maybe even permission for them to ride one some day.

Beverly weaves growing up with its responsibilities with the abandonment of childhood play to give hope to children who wonder if they are normal when they are careless one minute but brave and responsible the next.

Always a joy to hear my boys laugh.

[lalfonso_618548 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Children love the story of the friendship of Ralph, the mouse, and Keith, the young boy whose family is staying at the hotel in which Ralph and his family live. Ralph has adventures on Keith's toy motorcycle. This story was fun to read. It makes a great read aloud for 3rd - 5th grade. Teaching ideas include types of fiction.

[terris-7 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

This is a cute little book, written for 8 years old and up, about a boy who takes his toy cars and "motorcycle" on vacation with him and his parents, and finds that his hotel room has mice. One particular mouse, Ralph, is especially drawn to the toy motorcycle. And, would you believe it -- the boy and the mouse are able to communicate with each other and become friends! Also, Ralph is able to make the motorcycle run just by making motorcycle sounds ;)Of course, there is a dramatic and climactic part close to the end where the boy becomes ill and Ralph must scour the hotel for an aspirin to help break the boy's fever, since there isn't an aspirin to be had withing 25 miles. And you guessed it, Ralph finds an aspirin (on the floor), delivers it to the boy, who gets better, and we all lived happily ever after! It really is cute. If you have a young child, you should read it to them or better yet, have them read it to you! Enjoy this one together :)

[linnaea44 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I really enjoyed this book. I vaguely remember reading this as a child and I believe I saw the movie. I really like the adventure of the mouse and his courage throughout the book. He is like many young children wanting to grow up before their time and not understanding that even if you get bigger that does not mean you are older and more mature. The friendship gained between Ralph and Keith was priceless. I love how Ralph was amazed at how easily Keith forgave him for his mistakes. Great book for children to learn forgiveness and trust. I would recommend this book to all ages for reading assignment or just for fun.  

[auntjha · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I just finished reading this to Ethan. We read it one chapter at a time and he might be young for this type of reading, but I think he got something out of it. He remembered the story from day to day, although some of the plot was probably lost to him at less then 3 years old. It helped that there was a motorcycle and other cool vehicles and hopefully he'll pick it up and read it again when he's older.

[rastaphrog · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Read this many a year ago, not even sure how old I was. Can't remember all the details now, but I remember enjoying it a lot. :)

[jguidry-1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I love this children's classic by Beverly Cleary. It's got a mouse and a motorcycle, what's not to like? I love the interaction between Keith and Ralph as two kindred souls found in two different species. This story shows true friendship and I loved watching Ralph grow up" in the story. I'm passing this one on to my students."
