Narration: Hello! I am Brad Boykin! I am here to tell you about a well-known book, The Mouse and The Motorcycle!

Narration: This book is written by Beverly Cleary! Narration: It is a childhood classic that is appropriate for almost all ages!

Narration: Hopefully by watching my Book Trailer, you will want to pick up a copy yourself!

Narration: Allow me to tell you a little about the book!

Narration: Pay close attention, and don’t worry…I won’t give away the end!

Narration: The story starts out following a family on a road trip. Keith, his mother, and father are driving to California. They started out 5 whole days ago in Ohio!

Narration: They decide to stop at a nice quiet hotel to get some rest!

Narration: This hotel seems pretty normal. However, there is something a little special in Keith’s room!

Narration: Tucked away this tiny mouse hole is a furry little guy named Ralph!

Narration: Ralph is a very curious little mouse with big dreams of one day going all the way downstairs!

Narration: Ralph is also interested in the toy cars and a shiny red motorcycle that is owned by his new roommate!

Narration: Ralph slips out of his mouse hole when he thinks the coast is clear!

Narration: He is so excited and blinded by his admiration, that the telephone startles him.

Narration: This knocks both Ralph and the motorcycle off of the bedside table and into the waste basket.

Narration: When Keith returns to play with his motorcycle, he discovers that is missing.

Narration: When he checks the waste basket, he finds a little more than what he had expected!

Narration: Keith decides to share his motorcycle with Ralph! He informs Ralph that he must make a Vroom noise in order for it to move!

Narration: A mistake on the motorcycle almost causes Ralph and Keith to argue when the motorcycle and Ralph almost get thrown out with the wash!

Narration: To make things worse, the family of mice is discovered and the guest in the hotel want something done in order to rid the hotel of these pests!

Narration: Towards the end of the book, Keith gets really sick and there is no medicine available!

Narration: Ralph doesn’t want to lose his new friend Keith, so he hatches a plan!

Narration: Can Ralph save Keith? Narration: I guess you are going to have to read the book to find out!
