These are 2 in a set of 3 by Beverly Cleary (author of the Ramona series). Ralph is a mouse whose family lives in an old hotel. He usually likes when children stay in the hotel room where his family lives inside the wall, because they drop cookie crumbs an bits of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A new boy, Keith, arrives with something even better- toy cars and a motorcycle that are just the right size for Ralph.
AR level 5.1
pts 3.0
In Runaway Ralph, Ralph is getting a little tired of life in the hotel, especially when his mother forces him to give rides to annoying little siblings and cousins on his cherished motorcycle. He dreams of an independent life outside the hotel, only to learn things may not turn out as he hoped.

All the kids enjoyed these. We just rented the third- Ralph S. Mouse from the library yesterday. These are listed as 5th grade level, but I think 8 or older can read them alone. For reading aloud, 5 or 6 years old and up will enjoy- they are easy to understand, but much longer than a picture book, which most kindergarteners are in to. Depends on your child's attention span.
