Ralph is not like the other mice at the Mountain View Inn. He is always looking for adventure. It is Ralph's lucky day when a young guest named Keith arrives with a shiny miniature motorcycle. Right away, Ralph knows that the motorcycle is special - and made to be ridden by an adventurous mouse. And once a mouse can ride a motorcycle...almost anything can happen!

BD Wong is a gifted story teller. He doesn't just read, he acts. This dramatic reading includes appropriate voices and sound effects that makes the presentation enjoyable for the entire family in a car ride, or during family reading night.

This was a great book for us to listen to on a road trip. The story was interesting and exciting for the kids. My only complaint is the narrator made Ralph sound like an old, grumpy man at times. The mother’s voice was also dreadful too. Overall we would listen again and will be buying the next book.

Great story

I have read the Exquisite Children’s Novel aloud in my Classroom several times and love the characters, especially the secondary ones! This rendition will be loved by young and old! Bravo!

B.D. Wong brought this classic tale to LIFE!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this for any old fans of the book, and any youg reader looking to try something new. The fantastic story of Ralph and his adventurs are performed well and are still able to bring a smile to my face after many years.

What other book might you compare The Mouse and the Motorcycle to and why?

As a childhood reader of all Cleary books, this story has made me want to revisit all of her old works.

Have you listened to any of B. D. Wong’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first BD Wong performance I've heard, outside of his acting on things like SVU and The Ref. It took a second to place him, and he wasn't who I would have expected, but he did a remarkable job.

Any additional comments?

My kids are three and five, and aren't generally captivated by lengthy stories, but I plan to play this on our next road trip, when they do seem to last a bit longer with their attention span. Books and audible in general have helped us as a family to avoid DVD players and video games in the car, which is something that I'm quite proud of.
