Summary:
"A bike!" Is it a big bike or a little bike? Fast or slow? Dirty or clean? It all depends on who the bike's next rider is. If you ask a tiny birdie, a rhino, or even a poodle, they'll all tell you something different. Join this charming cast of characters who discover just how far our perspective--and one bike--can take you.

Booklist - 02/01/2025 Gillis, an environmental scientist, gently teaches about sustainability and perspective in this charming, Goldilocks-style story. A bird finds a bike with a “Free” sign on it and gives it a ride, but alas, it is too big. A rhino then gives the bike a try, but it turns out to be too little. Next, a cheetah comes upon the bike but discovers it is too slow. Turtle then has the opposite problem: the bike is too fast! The quick-paced, fun storytelling engages readers to find out if the bike will be just the right fit for its next owner. The clever text is packed with onomatopoeia during each creature’s test drive of the bike, making the book extra fun to read aloud. The story’s energy and charm are enhanced by Souva’s colorful and playful artwork, which incorporates postcards and other textures to create whimsical action and humor. An entertaining and thought-provoking exploration of both reusing discarded objects and differences in perspective. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
