Bug on a Bike

By Chris Monroe

Are we there yet? The Bug on the Bike isn't saying. He just started riding his bike one day and invited his friends—from the athletic pickle to a surprisingly agile nickel—to follow behind him. Nobody knows where they're headed, but it's a long, strange trip everyone is happy to take. Chris Monroe, creator of the Monkey with a Tool Belt series, brings her characteristic love of silly details to this rhyming read-aloud romp.

Reviews for Bug on a Bike

[sullywriter_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Cumulative kookiness and what a long, strange trip it is.

[jennybeast · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Hilarious building story of many friends following a bug on a bike to a surprise -- simple in concept, superbly executed with great vocabulary and illustrations.

[mrsbond_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Ladybug goes on a bike ride (with helmet on, of course), collecting friends along the way. No one knows where they are going, just that it must be someplace fun! Story told through rhyme, which at times feels a bit cumbersome. Illustrations include little details that perceptive readers will enjoy. It is a cute story that children will enjoy, but not an essential purchase.
