Beverly Cleary is a classic young children's author.
We read The Mouse and the Motorcycle
to my son as one of his first chapter books. The story is of a mouse names Ralph who lives in a hotel and a boy who befriends him and gives him a mouse-sized motorcycle, which he can ride by making a motorcycle noise. Ralph has many adventures and gets into a few tight spots by being bold with his motorcycle. It has a great themes of friendship, loyalty and responsibility.It's very sweet and fun. The writing level is a good read-aloud for an older four-year old and up. I would guess it's about a second-grade reading level. I think boys or girls would enjoy this book but it is particularly good for drawing in a young boy.
