Naturally, Ralph’s cautious mother worries constantly about her daredevil son, and usually for good reason. Ralph longs for adventure and independence, but his opportunities are limited by his circumstances–that is, until a toy motorcycle zooms into his life and expands his horizons. To state the obvious, Ralph is a mouse, but he’s a special mouse who is able to speak and be understood by some humans (usually young boys with an affinity for mice). If you have a soft spot for rodents in literature (and don’t we all?), you’ll definitely want to check out Beverly Cleary’s classic Ralph S. And some heroes are mice that ride motorcycles. Some heroes inspire us with their dedication and bravery. Some literary heroes face insurmountable challenges and achieve great feats.
