Carson’s book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement.

When Keith and his parents step into room 215 of the Mountain View Inn, they don't know they are being watched. But a mouse named Ralph is studying them from a knothole near the floor. And as soon as Ralph spots Keith's toy motorcycle, he knows he will have to investigate. That motorcycle seems to be the perfect size for a daring young mouse to ride! After a harrowing introduction (kept secret from Keith's mother), the mouse and the boy become fast friends. Of course they understand each other: two creatures who share a love for motorcycles naturally speak the same language. From then on, the toy cycle means noise, speed, fun-and trouble!-for Ralph and Keith.
