In this off-beat book perfect for reading aloud, a Caldecott Honor winner shares the story of a duck who rides a bike with hilarious results.
One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. โI bet I could ride a bike,โ he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on, and began to ride. At first, he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. โHello, Cow!โ said Duck. โMoo,โ said Cow. But what she thought was, โA duck on a bike? Thatโs the silliest thing Iโve ever seen!โ
And so, Duck rides past Sheep, Horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck!
