Runaway Ralph

Ultimately, this book is all about what the boy likes, and the boy likes this one. In reading this one, I found a number of occasions where I had to read sentences over a second or third time before I understood what was being said. In one way I complain about that, but as a parent reading to a boy who is learning, it gives the chance for him to see that grownups have to read things over sometimes to understand.

The boy loves the mouse riding the motorcycle along with the idea of animals and boys being able to talk to each other. I like the depiction of an adult who is understanding of children and treats them with respect. The next one in the series is up in the near future.
