From School Library JournalKindergarten-Grade 3?The history of bicycles, the science behind their design, descriptions of dissimilar types, their care, and safety rules are all distinctly and plainly staged in Gibbons’s typical, inimitable style.

From BooklistAges 5^-9. In one of her more engaging picture books, Gibbons introduces the bicycle: it is history, design, care, types, uses, and safety rules. Short but rather informative, the text is full of solid facts as well as utile tips and interesting tidbits that young children will be pleased to percentage with the older bicyclists in the family. Large, clear ink drawings with colorful washes and shading illustrate this satisfying book. Carolyn Phelan
