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. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
