Editorial Reviews:

"The rousing notes of the bugle and the laughter and shouting increased the feeling of rebellion within Ralph. As the last strains of the bugle call hovered in the clear mountain air, Ralph made up his mind. He knew now what he was going to do. He was going to run away.

Fed up with his timid mother and uncle and his squirmy little cousins, Ralph hops onto his toy motorcycle and zooms down the road to summer camp. It turns out camp is not all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fun. A strict watchdog, a mouse-hungry cat, and a troubled boy named Garf lead Ralph on some fur-raising escapades. Perhaps home isn't such a bad place to be, if only Ralph can find a way to get there again.

Summary: GO Ralph go!
Comment: THIS BOOK HAS A GOOD ENOUGH STORY & IT DOES END WELL BUT I THINK THE STORY SHOULD HAVE HAD VISUAL PICTURES SOMETHING TO ADD TO THE TALE OF RALPH & HIS MOTORCYCLE-ING! I REALLY DONT ENJOY BOOKS WITH
OUT PICTURES TO HELP HOLD ON TO A YOUNG KIDS ATTENTION!
I ALSO DONT LIKE BOOKS THAT JUST GO ON & ON WITH PRINT THATS JUST TOO SMALL FOR YOUNG READERS TO KEEP THEIR PLACE EASILY! IT MAKES YOUR EYES TIRED & MAKES YOU REACH FOR ANOTHER BOOK INSTEAD!
ALL GOOD STORY BOOKS WOULD BECOME GREAT STORY BOOKS IF THEY HAD THE ARTISTRY TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE!

Summary: Loved it
Comment: When I was little (40+ now) I read this book. One of the first books i ever read. I still remember how much i loved this story, series of stories. I was 7, or 8 at the time. Was very wrapped up in the book. A very fond childhood memory. I would relate the story to a childhood friend as my own story, with my own embellishments. When i remember that i remember how, like most kids, i was just plain silly. I recommend this as reading for any young reader!

Summary: Review of "Runaway Ralph" By Nathan Smith 3rd Grade
Comment: The story explains how Ralph runs away because he does not want to be bossed around by his mother or uncle Lester. Ralph lives at the Mountain View Inn. He must get down the steps so he can run away. After he runs away he rides his motorcycle to happy acres where he has to get passed a dog named Sam. After passing the dog he gets caught by a boy name Garf. Ralph gets put into a cage and must convince Garf to let him go. Ralph realizes that he misses and needs his family. Ralph escapes from the cage and convices Garf to take him back home.

The first challenge of Ralph is to get down the stairs at the Mountain View Inn. Ralph slides down the side ramp into prikley bushes. His motorcycle gets stuck with his crash helmet and Ralph lands on the ground.

Next, Ralph rides away on his motorcycle. He find a place called Happy Acres camp and stops to get his favorite meal peanut butter and jelly sandwitches. He meets Sam the dog who does not let Ralph inside Happy Acres Camp. So Ralph has to get by Sam by driving his Motorcycle into the bushes. Ralph hides in a gopher hole and Sam finnally gives up when it is lunch time. Ralph escapes from the gopher hole and goes into a bamboo clump to stay. Some cats find him and try to catch him. A boy named Garf catches him with a butterfly net before he is eaten by the cats.

Garf puts Ralph into a cage, Ralph must escape from the cage and get back home. Ra[ph is not having any fun and is uncomfortable in the cage. He misses his mom and uncle Lester alot. Ralph gets very hungry. Ralph makes friends with a hamster and they talk. Garf feeds Ralph nuts and seeds everyday but Ralph is still unhappy and lonley because Garf never lets Ralph out of the cage.

In conclusion, "Runaway Ralph" by Beverly Cleary tells a story about Ralph the mouse and his difficult journey away from home and back again. Ralph meets new friends and has many adventures but he misses his home and family very much and decides to return to them. My opinion of this book by Beverly Cleary is that it was very exciting and enjoyable to read much like her other book which I have read, The Mouse on a Motorcyle. I even enjoyed the movie. I plan on reading her other Newbery winner book Dear Mr. Henshaw because I saw the play in second grade and I liked it too.
