Description
Reviews
"This story of determination and friendship is simply and consistently told." --Kirkus Reviews "They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, you absolutely should. The whimsical illustrations by Jennie Poh bring Bear and his bike buddies to life in this sweet tale of practice and persistence." --Glenys Nellist, author of Little Mole Finds Hope and the series Love Letters from God and Snuggle Time "Bear's Bicycle reminds all of us that nothing is easy the first time we try it. Its delightful cast of characters help one another overcome obstacles and demonstrate to young readers that perseverance always pays off." --Mindy Baker, author of Mouse's Christmas Gift "Kids will experience the frustrations of learning a new skill and the reward that comes from practice and perseverance, all in the context of Bear's charming world." --Marilou Reeder, author of Willow the Armadillo and The Daring Prince Dashing "It's a message that reminds us that practice equals fun, perseverance is rewarded, and with your friends by your side, you can do anything!" --Lara Ivey, librarian
