As a child I read "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" countless times over. A forgotten part of my childhood right there.
Vrroooommmm!!!
RIP, BC :-(
I remember "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" well. That specific book started me on a life long reading journey. My elementary had a reading contest every year, and by the middle of 3rd grade I'd read everything Beverly Clearly wrote. Decades later reading them again to a niece, the memories were so strong I could put down the book and quote dialog exchanges from triggered memory. Damn she was a great writer.
