A cute story about learning to ride a bike. I absolutely love that even though the dogs wear clothes and are anthropomorphized, they pretty much have Corgi proportions and stand as real Corgis would. They're short, stumpy, and adorable.

I think this would work well in a preschool or lower elementary school storytime.

SO precious! When Max and his Mama go out for a bike ride, one of his training wheels falls off-- and with her encouragement, he might be able to ride without them! A super sweet family story with heartwarming illustrations.

A sweet day-in-the-life story of a young boy and his mother's daily activities. Nothing special here.
