They share the bike until Sam also gets a new bike from his parents.
This very simple, gentle story is perfect for the new reader. They will read it over and over. They can identify with the action and the frustration when the bike disappears.
The illustrations are bright and show the emotions of the characters. The children shown are multicultural . The text gently encourages riding safely with a helmet, both hands on the handlebars and shows the children riding on the sidewalk or in the yard.
Recommended for all early elementary collections. Theal, Joan
