What this book is about

Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse from The Mouse and the Motorcycle, grows restless and runs away from the Mountain View Inn to Happy Acres Summer Camp. Life among the camp animals is harder than he expected, and a cat named Catso makes his life very difficult. Cleary's warm sequel has the same humor and affection for its mouse hero as the original.
