Discovery Questions

  • This book has two main characters, Ralph and Garf. Which character are you more like and why? Use a Venn diagram to show how you are alike, and how you are different.
  • Ralph is a very stubborn character. How is he like another stubborn character in another book? Use a Venn diagram to show the similarities and differences.
  • Ralph learns several lessons during his summer at camp, and makes promises to be a “better mouse” if he gets out of some of the situations alive. Ralph is now willing to admit that his mother and Uncle Lester may have been right. What could Ralph’s mother and uncle have done to convince him without Ralph having to run away, placing himself in such danger? Talk about it with a parent.
  • What if something had happened to Ralph or Garf, and Ralph was not able to return to the Mountain View Inn? How would Ralph have survived, and how would the story have been different? Re-write the end of the story.
