RUNAWAY RALPH is the third installment of Cleary’s classic tales building on the hilarious excitement of THE MOUSE AND THE MOTORCYCLE and RALPH S. MOUSE (both available on DVD from Scholastic Storybook Treasures). Ralph is tired of living at the quaint and quiet Mountain View Inn and dealing with his annoying relatives. He longs for “a life of speed and danger and excitement.” He certainly gets his wish when he sets off on his mouse-sized motorcycle and meets a series of fur-raising adventures. After some run-ins with the resident cat at the Happy Acres Summer Camp, Ralph befriends a young boy named Garfield and helps him through a difficult decision. In this fantastic tale of friendship and growing up, Ralph learns that the wild is not necessarily better than home, even with all its problems, The original film production won an Emmy nomination and awards from the American Library Association and the Columbus Film Festival.
Perfect for early readers, ages 3 to 8, the DVD features an enhanced read-along function and Talk about the Story questions to enhance early literacy skills. The DVD also includes the bonus story Commander Toad in Space, based on the book by Jane Yolen.
