Ralph is a mouse who lives in a hotel. In fact he lives in a specific hotel room. He loves when families with young kids stay - they leave lots of crumbs. And older kids may not leave as many crumbs, but they leave higher quality options - half-eaten candy bars at the top of the list. The current guest in his room is too old for good crumbs, not old enough to leave half-eaten candy. But he has something else - a little toy motorcycle, just big enough for Ralph to ride. Ralph strikes up a friendship with the boy. They can understand each other because they both love motorcycles - which was kind've cute. They have some adventures with the motorcycle. But when the boy gets sick and needs an aspirin (and the boys parents can't find one because it's 1AM) Ralph drives off in the boy's toy ambulance on a wild adventure through the hotel to find an aspirin. A cute, fun book. (  ) sriddell | Aug 6, 2022 | I've never read past book one, but now I'm tempted to, the book was always a charming one to say the least. I had no idea this was a series, but I guess it is. (  ) Yolken | Aug 5, 2022 | When a little boy with a toy motorcycle comes to stay in the hotel where Ralph lives with his extended family, Ralph and the boy become friends.
