Mouse & The Motorcycle - I show this to K & 1 (Also, the big kids on Wednesday get to see it because we have a K class at the same time as the big kids - surprisingly the kids are totally ok with that. These are all ages flicks even with the 80's claymation style mouse!) - The big exciting moment is when Ralph's on the motorcycle and the vacuum is trying to suck him up. (Spoiler alert - he makes it!)
Ralph S. Mouse - Ralph goes to school and the kids have him run a maze. Ralph makes up his own rules.
Runaway Ralph - The most amusing for the grownups, even though it's not the best story of the three. Ralph goes to camp with (see above) Fred Savage! And there are girl bullies - Sara Gilbert and Kelli Martin! And "Berta" from 2 1/2 Men is their counselor! Hilarious.
Thank goodness I have book fair this week, because we are Internet-less. We get our internet from some tower nearby (just 3 schools) and we share that tower with other groups or something. (Not being on the tech committee, I just get baby details.) The part is broken, it's expensive to fix, the part's hard to find, and our school system doesn't have a lot of money. All these things together are making the perfect (internet free) storm until further notice. I don't know who provides that internet, but it's not the local cable company. My school is in the middle of the cornfields and there's a tiny little spot where a local company provides phone/cable/internet. Calling outside of our zip code at school is automatically a long distance call. Very odd and "middle of nowhere" style. They're thinking maybe we will be able to hook up with the cable company at least until the part is found, but even that will take awhile. D'oh!
Hee. I totally forgot about those shows, but now I remember watching them as a kid. I also remember making a diorama based on one of those books either for school or fun. I can't remember which. Yeah we were dorky kids.
