What is it About?
A boy learns to ride his bike without training wheels

My Thoughts:

I am a big fan of authors who are not as well know and are just putting there first book out.  As writer myself I know it is hard to put yourself out there and come up with an good story that is also entertaining.   This book I am happy to say does that.


The prose has rhyming and fits together nicely telling the story of the little boy who is learning to ride without training wheels. You even get a feel for how the little boy speaks and that is adorable. It art is cute, cartoon like and matches nicely.  

I think this is a book that kids will want to read over especially the tykes who have yet to learn to ride bikes.   I would recommend this also as a beginning reader book.

WWW Wednesday - June 22, 2011

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?


WHAT I AM CURRENTLY READING:


Verita (Verita Trilogy)Verita (Verita Trilogy) by Tracy Rozzlynn


YA/ Sci Fi interesting so far can't wait to see how it goes.


The Fairy Godmother (Five Hundred Kingdoms)The Fairy Godmother (Five Hundred Kingdoms) by Mercedes Lackey


Only just got to the part that isn't similar to the Cinderella Fairy Tale.  I like it so far!


The Artist's WayThe Artist's Way by Julia Cameron


I have actually been participating in this for 7 weeks now..?  I think .. 7 or 6  but I always forget to put here because I am not actively reading it every day just every week.


Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost EverythingWomen Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything by Geneen Roth


I am listening to this on the computer.  It is hard not to do stuff and listen but I am trying very hard because I want to understand why I eat the way I do. 


The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-SizeThe Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Size by Julia Cameron


Yes, it is done by the same author who does The Artist Way and yes it is very similar..  I felt I need something I could participate actively instead of thought driven like Women, God and Food.




WHAT I JUST FINISHED READING:


The Betrayal of Maggie BlairThe Betrayal of Maggie Blair by Elizabeth Laird


This was more historical fiction then I thought it was going to be it was okay and dark. 


The Long Way Home (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, Vol. 1)The Long Way Home (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, Vol. 1) by Joss Whedon


This actually probably the third time I have read this part of the comic but I wanted to read it again to do a review here.  Still love Buffy I just have to catch up.

WHAT I WILL READ NEXT :


Ellie and the Elven KingEllie and the Elven King by Helen Rosburg


I have had this a while and need to read it.  I got it from the first Faerie Con.
