Bear's Bicycle - (Woodland Friends) by Laura Renauld (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The Woodland Friends from Porcurpine's Pie return in this cheerful story about persevering in the face of tough challenges.

Bear, Porcupine, Doe, and Squirrel all eagerly prepare for the festival on wheels. But even after studying every book on bikes he can find, Bear still struggles to get the hang of riding. While he is on his way to the library for a new book, his friends teach Bear that everyone learns in different ways, and by practicing together, they will all master riding their bikes. In this follow-up book to Porcupine's Pie, the woodland friends inspire each other in a tale of practice, perseverance, and friendship. A final spread features tips from one of Bear's books: bike safety, caring for your bike, and fun ways to decorate it!
