The Mouse and the Motorcycle

This was a fun book to read with the boy. The boy got into this book more than previous reads and wanted to hear more when it was time to stop for the night. I love to see that.

Cleary addresses the desires of growing up and getting to do grown up things. She cleverly brings things around to show how it isn't just age or size that matters, but learning to be responsible for things and to think of others that is more important.

As for the boy, the idea of a mouse riding a motorcycle is an immediate sell!
