The Mouse and the Motorcycle
Beverly Cleary
HarperTrophy, 1990
Plot! Character! Action!
This book is a rare treasure, perfectly pitched to read aloud to my five-year-old boys.

Long Way Round: Chasing Shadows Across the World
Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman
Atria, 2005
Great book
Great book that should be a companion to the DVD set. I do recommend that instead of this book you buy the illustrated edition. MOre pictures and the same verbage. But, buy at least one of them.

Long Way Down: An Epic Journey by Motorcycle from Scotland to South Africa
Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman
Atria, 2008
A travel story
A travel story. Short on drama and suspense but a lot of description of lands and peoples. Little talk about motorcycles even though they had some difficulties that could have added some interest. I enjoyed it for what it is.
