PreS-Gr 1—Elena the elephant is riding a bike, but her confidence falters after some falls. Still, she won't give up.
Elena's persistence offers an important message in spare, engaging prose to anyone attempting to master a new
skill—including learning to read.

This was a good book. Would be a good beginner chapter book. Kids can read and learn what all she likes to do living in the city.

First sentence: Elena wants to ride. Elena buckles her helmet. She readies, she steadies...she pushes, she pedals! She wobbles and bobbles...KA-BANG!

Premise/plot: Elena (the elephant) is trying her best to learn how to ride a bicycle. Will she bue successful? Will her hard work and and dedication pay off?

My thoughts: I love this one so much. This one had me at hello. The cover. The end pages. Every perfect word of this perfectly-perfect narrative. (The language is SO delightful). The illustrations. This beginning reader is so charming. I loved everything about this one!… (mais)

Similar to an early reader book in that the vocabulary is limited and there is a lot of repetition. The basic story of getting on and falling off of the bike during the process of learning to ride is simply told.

Essentially, this is a happy book about a happy elephant learning to ride her bike.

I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine alone and are freely given.
