The story, Runaway Ralph is about a mouse running away from home with his most favorite toy: a motorcycle that a friend had given him. He wants to runaway to a camp so that he can eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, his favorite treat. Ralph has to travel through weeds and bushes to get to the camp. When he arrives, a watchdog is outside. The dog doesn’t want to let Ralph into the camp so Ralph goes into a gopher’s hole and digs himself into the camp. All the kids like him, but they trap him inside a cage. Ralph starts to get scared; he didn’t think that that was going to happen. One night he escapes and tries to find his home. Do you think that Ralph will ever find his home? Read Runaway Ralph to find out.

Spring 2001
