Book Reviews of Duck on a Bike

Book Review: Delightful!
Summary: 3 Stars

There is something incredibly funny about farm animals riding bikes--oddly, this is as close to normal as David Shannon ever gets. It's a cute little ride around the farmyard, if you're willing to suspend your disbelief about the laws of physics and comparitive animal sizes. My students love listening to this book and looking at Shannon's bright pictures.

Book Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

We LOVE this book! The pictures are so vibrant and the repetition is just what toddlers love. It also teaches animals and their sounds. I've given this book as a gift several times.

Book Review: Fun on a bike
Summary: 5 Stars

David Shannon has once again created a valuable book for the youngest readers. Duck on a Bike tells the fun adventure of an average farm duck with a desire to do something exciting. The story begins with Duck's hungry stare at a red bike, and ends with the same look of desire, only Duck has found a bigger challenge in a tractor. This book has Shannon's signature full page, vividly colored illustrations of farm animals. Shannon's ability to depict human emotion in the facial expressions of animals is a good way for parents to teach children how to anticipate the contents of a story. This book is perfect for young audiences who have just learned the familiar sounds of farm animals. Since the predictable introduction to each animal begins with the standard animal sound, parents can encourage young audiences to interact with the story by voicing the sound of each animal. Duck on a Bike is fun, adorable, and a must read for every toddler and beginning reader.

Book Review: Duck on a Bike
Summary: 5 Stars

Great book for young children. Especially for those who are currently learning how to ride a bike. The illustrations are fantastic.

Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was hesitant to purchase this book. I usually try to buy books that rhyme, because they're easier and more fun for me to read (over, and over, and over). Though this is not a rhyming story, it is very cute and I love all the animals. It will be easy for me to engage my 3 yr old son with this book. I don't have his opinion yet since it's for Christmas, but based on his preferences, I know he's going to love it!

Even if you don't care for the "David" books by Shannon (which I don't), this is a great book.
