Rezensionen

Kindergarten-Grade 3AThrilled with his shiny new bike, Chris eagerly pushes off on his inaugural journey. Coasting toward his grandmother's roses, he tries to use the pedals to break, but he's out of control. So begins this rip-roaring ride through woods, streams, and parade-packed streets, collecting passengers and cargo along the way. With a spider, bear, pig, trout, and tuba in tow, the boy careens his way through the countryside leaving chaos in his wake. Finally, when he gets a handle on the brakes, he comes to an abrupt halt, tossing all passengers back to their respective homes. This funny, rhythmic, and sometimes rhyming story will have readers perched on the edges of their seats. O'Malley's comic illustrations done in oil, colored pencil, and marker are drenched with color and make a perfect match for this rollicking tale. Appropriately expressive, doughy characters convey the tension in their posture and wide-eyed wonder. Varied perspectives, pictures and text set slightly askew, and creative use of typeface punctuate the excitement. A great read-aloud and an exhilarating trip.APaula A.
