Media Reviews
This is an excellent way for children to learn about life in other countries. The use of a bicycle as a familiar object gives them something to relate to. There is very little text on each page, but enough going on in each photograph to lead to discussion. Bicycles is an exceptional book for sharing either one to one or with a group. || A set of excellent, vibrantly colourful photos from countries far and wide with captions and speech bubbles, a browsing book and none the worse for that
