The cutest illustrations. I want to ride bikes through a bike museum!

[Karen Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is good for many kids (but not all). There is LOTS to look at (reminiscent of Richard Scarry), and many kids would enjoy that where it might overwhelm others. It has letter writing examples and includes information along the way. With the can you find aspect, curious kids could enjoy endless hours of fun. It's a clever story with a clear B-M-E and a surprise ending.

What could be more fun than a Bicycle Bash! Readers are invited to join the bicycle bash where everyone can ride their bikes indoors. This seek-and-find adventure takes readers on a ride through the museum where there is so much to explore and some familiar faces to spot.

A fun companion to Cycle City where readers can enjoy seek-and-find element of the story while also taking a trip through the history of cycling.

A bit of an I Spy, a bit of Richard Scarry cycling adventure, and a whole lot of Babar vibes.

Charming. Wonderful, Richard-Scarry-like spreads full of things to discover.

not a great read-aloud, better for older kids to read and examine the pictures themselves

Kind of a "Where's Waldo" with bicycles.

Kind of fun.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sophisticated hide and seek for little bicycle lovers. Animals are riding bikes of all kinds, in all kinds of places to the bicycle bash. Enjoy looking at all the little details.
