You have to be very creative to write this story, and make it good for the parents and the boy to love it. This is a great story about a mice who loves speed and 'life in the fast lane', but he is stuck in this old motel.... So he dares to run away in search for a better cool place. The story is very vivid, lots of details, lots of 'scary' moments. Great lesson for all at the end.
I grew up reading this book over and over. Since it was one of my childhood favorites, I decided to purchase the audiobook for my children to listen to on a road trip. The book was as good as I remembered, but the narration is only so-so. The narrator does differentiate between when characters are speaking and when they are not, but I found his accents irritating and un-California like. The voice of Matt, the 60-year-old bellboy would be one example. Matt's voice was quite high pitched and squeaky, like I would expect the Ralph's to be. Others characters sounded like Fran Dresher from "The Nanny." All-in-all, I give it three stars because, while it disappointed me, it didn't disappoint the children. They have already listened to it again since coming home.
B.D. Wong reading "Runaway Ralph" by Beverly Cleary is a runaway hit! Wong reads three of Cleary's books and brings them to life. The "Ralph" series is clever and creative. My granddaughter is now 9, and we listen to these over and over. Neither she nor I tire of them. In fact, after listening to this audiobook last week, I asked her to think of an adventure Ralph could have next. We're currently working on that! When invited to a baby shower where books are requested, I've been giving one of Cleary's books from the "Ralph" series. We love them that much!
We have had this audio book for over four years. Our children repeatedly ask to hear this, and quite honestly we parents enjoy it too. Beverly Cleary has a child's heart and brings you into their world as well as the world of Ralph and his family. You will never look at a mouse the same way!
