Two Wheels

Description: "Tricycles have three wheels and training bikes have four, but what this little boy wants most of all is a bike with two wheels! Dad has one for any occasion, and he knows just how to get his son ready. With practice, patience, and more than a little courage, the dream of a family who rides together--everyone on two wheels!--might just come true"--

Review Quotes: This straightforward, at times humorous narrative deftly captures a young child's viewpoint, brought to life by gorgeously textured, collagelike images. This is an engaging and relatable look at how skills are acquired through practice; laudably, Gibb makes clear that learning to ride a bike doesn't happen overnight. . . . Simple, encouraging, and charming.

An overall feeling of wholesomeness envelopes this book, and there's a gentle humor in the boy's interpretation of what various types of bikes are for. . . Whether kiddos picking up this picture book hope to bike by themselves someday or are just along for the ride, the effort that the boy puts in to learning to ride a bicycle the way he wants is a valuable insight into the perseverance needed to pick up a new skill.
