Duck on a Bike

I love it when we receive packages from the grandparents because my mother-in-law is a school librarian and almost always sends new books for the boys. (If you think it's weird that my mother-in-law is a librarian too, then perhaps you would be interested to know the my own mother is also a librarian! Aren't my kids lucky?) This time was no exception and one of the books she sent that we have been enjoying is Duck on a Bike by David Shannon.

This is a really cute story about a duck who decides to try to ride a boy's bicycle. As he rides around the farm he runs across other animals, who each have their own thoughts about Duck riding on a bike. Some think he is showing off, others think it's dangerous, and some think it's just plain silly!

At the end of the story a whole bunch of kids come over so that each of the farm animals gets a chance to ride on a bike. It is funny to see which animals choose the different types of bicycles because it matches with their personality and comments from before.

The pictures are really great and really show the personalities of the different farm animals. I think this is a fun book that we will be reading over and over again.
