Books for Bike Month
National Bike Month is upon us! So if you havent already, hop on a pair of wheels and go for a spin--and dont forget to bring the kids. When youre finished, rest your saddle-sore rear in a comfy chair and share some of the following books with the training-wheels set.
Chris Raschkes latest picture book breaks down the steps involved in mastering how to ride a bike. The young girl starts with training wheels, then raises them a "smidge" and finally theyre off completely. A few spills and a lot of tries later and shes a bona fide rider. Yay!
