Dino Bikes

by Eva Montanari, J. Alison James (Translation)

Little Stego Saurus watches the other young dinosaurs race up and down Dinosaur Hill on their bicycles. Stego longs for a bicycle of his own, but Mother Saurus worries that he is still too little to be able to keep his balance. she comes up with a wonderful solution -- brand-new bicycle, complete with training wheels! Overjoyed, Stego rides off to join the other bicyclists. But they make fun of his training wheels, so Stego decides to remove them, transforming his bike into a real two-wheeler. Stego isn't ready yet for just two wheels. Down he falls, to jeers and laughter from the others. How a huge brontosaurus -- a novice bicyclist himself -- puts an end to their taunts and restores Stego's confidence is an imaginative and reassuring story about peer pressure and the importance of learning at your own pace.
