Caldecott Honor winner David Shannon applies his wonderful off-beat humor to the story of a duck who decides to try riding a bike–and loves it!
FORMAT: Paperback book & CD
NARRATOR: Walter Mayes
One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. “I bet I could ride a bike,” 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. “Hello, Cow!” said Duck. “Moo,” said Cow. But what she thought was, “A duck on a bike? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen!”
And so Duck rides past sheep, horse, and all the other barnyard animals.
Awesome book! This is such a cute book with a fun story and great illustrations. We ordered it for our niece who is learning to ride a bike. All of the Duck books are excellent.
Cute story It looked like a hilarious story, but my 5-year old doesn’t listen to it too much. I think he would have enjoyed it more at 3 or 4; hard to say. It was really nice to have the accompanying CD though.
Great story and well read! My daughter teaches 4th grade and is very particular about what books I can buy for my grandaughter aged 3. This book was one they borrowed from the local library and my grandaughter insisted on three readings each night for two weeks! They really like the CD as she can listen as she goes to sleep. My daughter really like the author’s reading of the story on the CD, he does a fantastic job. I highly recommend this for pre-school and primary readers although my grandson aged 9 likes to read…
