Two of the first books that I owned as a child were The Travels of Monarch X by Ross E. Hutchins and The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. Both were hardcover books and I loved them both. My parents gave me the books as a gift for my birthday. They were two of the best gifts I ever received. Each book was special in its own way. The Travels of Monarch X, a true story, taught me all about the majestic monarch butterfly, from their features to their amazing migration journey and the dangers they face along the way. I developed a deep love and respect for these beautiful creatures. The Mouse and the Motorcycle is a fun adventure story of a mouse named Ralph who meets a boy with a toy motorcycle that Ralph gets to ride.
My copy was a first edition hardcover. I loved this story so much I went on to read other books by this author. I kept these books into adulthood and passed them on to my own children.
