“It is hard to ride a bike without training wheels. You will learn when you are ready.“
This is a great graphic to introduce to kindergarteners or first graders. It teaches students to share with others, even their new toys. Students may even be able to make a personal connection to this if they are learning, or have learned, to ride a bike. It also displays to students that it is okay to accept your friends as they are. Children will enjoy the illustrations in this book, especially when Hedgehog knocks over Harry with his bike.
pick“Do You Like My Bike?“ by Norm Feuti is a graphica novel. This graphica or comic book would be appropriate for kindergarteners. It discusses Hedgehog getting a new bike, but Harry does not want to ride. The illustrations help portray that Hedgehog is riding too fast by having lines behind him to show his speed. It also displays a worried and anxious look on Harry's face showing that he is afraid that Hedgehog might hit him.
pick#IdiomInsight Day 10: You will not literally #BreakALeg even if you on this patchwork bike. The entire story is uplifting, irreverent, and filled with energy. The Afterword written by both the author and the illustrator is also illuminating as it speaks of their influences, their background, and the visual codes embedded in the narrative.

Went for a Fall Bike Ride yesterday!
This may or may not be the ride that counts toward my #Scarathlon2022 Bucket List. Hopefully, we‘ll have the chance to go for more before it gets too cold. The foliage wasn‘t at its peak quite yet. There are so many more wonders of the season to behold! 🍁
*Note: I‘m behind the lens, not in front of it. I didn‘t suddenly grow a beard. Or, not one that‘s this impressive, anyway. 😉😆
pickAs someone in her mid 20s, I have NO idea how this was my first time reading a Sarah Dessen book. I am HOOKED! This coming of age novel never had a boring moment. It was perfectly paced with just the right amount of character development.
I resonated with Dessen‘s thoughts about summer, which she noted at the end of the book (& which I attached above). The nostalgia of a high school summer is a precious feeling which Dessen captured magically. 5/5
This book has been a wonder so far teaching me about the mechanical side of bikes while also showing special skills and how to ride properly.
pickIt's been a minute since I've reread this one, but it holds up. I love how much depth Sarah Dessen gives all of her characters. Can't wait for the movie!! #yalit
This sassy duck loves riding anything with wheels and persuades all the other farm animals to join her - guaranteed to delight LOs from 2-6 yo.

pickAs with all Sarah dessen books I love them. I love her writing style and how she builds her characters. Always a yes with her.
