Part of Eli's homework in 2nd grade is to read 15 minutes a night. I understand why, but with other activities it wasn't always easy to find the time and make it meaningful. So, I dug out one of my favorite Cleary books and we read together.
This is the first book in a series of three about a talking mouse, Ralph, that lives in Room 215 of a hotel. This introduces all the struggles of being a mouse and the joy of finding adventures on the first floor. He makes a human friend name Keith who shares his motorcycle with him and teaches him how to ride by making the sound of a motorcycle, Pb-pb-pb.
This was a fun book to read with Eli. It has a few pictures throughout to foreshadow what is going to happen. I did most of the reading, but he read the short pages with the pictures. We finished the book and managed to meet the 300 minutes a month requirement. We will be starting the new year with the next book - Runaway Ralph for the month of January.
Thanks for reading.
