Wee Reads: Ready to Ride by Sebastien Pelon

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



Ready to RideReady to Ride by Sebastien Pelon


  

A funny, feel good book with a can-do attitude for anyone who's ever tried to ride a bike, about freedom, friendship, and the joy of cycling without stabilisers for the very first time.
A little boy is told to play outside by his mum and bumps into an imaginary friend with whom he goes for a bike ride. At first he finds it difficult to keep up, but with the imaginary friend’s help he takes off the bike’s stabilisers and learns to freewheel – all the way home.

Do you like this book?
Yeah! I like his imaginary friend. And I love riding my bike!

What's your favorite part of the book?
When he's riding his bike with the umbrella! It was so silly!

What do you think of the cover?
I like his hat! 

Do you want me to read it again?
Yeah!




This one was hard to read because the format on the kindle was all kinds of weird. 
With that being said Ready to Ride is an adorable book about not giving up. It teaches that sometimes it's hard but that you can do anything you set your mind to.

The graphics are adorable and I absolutely love his imaginary friend! It even had me giggling out loud at a few parts.

We received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
