Genre: Fiction Picture Book
Age Range: K-2, Primary
Summary: Duck on a bike is about a duck being brave and trying something new. All of the other farm animals thought it was pointless, that the duck was just showing off, that it was cool, or that they wanted to eat it. Well, the duck didn't care what anyone else thought and he just went right ahead and rode his bike. A bunch of kids showed up on bikes at the house. While they were inside the other farm animals decided they wanted to ride like duck. By the end of the day the duck had everyone riding the bike around the house and farm. And everyone enjoyed riding the bike and thought that the duck was cool.
Response: This book is definitely for younger ages and could be used for teaching about animals, teaching about being a leader, and teaching children not to worry about what other people think. I enjoyed reading the book and the illustrations were amazing. They were bright, big, and exciting. It drew my focus towards the book when I picked it out. The book made me feel young, happy, and relaxed because of the motivational story behind the duck wanting to ride the bike. The duck didn't care what anyone else thought.
