DUCK ON A BIKE submitted by avelyn on July 10, 2012, 8:44pm i like is book became A DUCK IS ON A BIKE

Funny Read-Aloud submitted by skcramer on July 15, 2013, 9:16pm When Duck finds a bicycle on the farm, he decides to give cycling a try, zooming around the other farm animals who offer their opinions about Duck’s antics, but when a pack of children leave their bicycles nearby, all the animals feel inspired to try cycling too. This humorous adaptation of the typical farm-animal story introduces children to ten typical farm animals – ducks, cows, sheep, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, pig and mice – but wraps it all up in a truly delightful premise. This picture book is further enhanced by double-spread oil illustrations that not only capture the comic heart of this story but also project well for storytime purposes. Indeed, this book would be an excellent selection for preschool storytime, offering a repetitive structure and plenty of animal sounds to encourage audience participation. The climactic illustration of the all the animals pedaling away will likely draw giggles from children as well.

Shannon does it again! submitted by krayla on June 18, 2014, 1:42pm I love everything by David Shannon, but 'Duck on a Bike' is definitely one of my favorites! Duck is very sassy and smug as he rides by all the other farm animals on a bike. The other animals are dumbfounded and seem to be judging Duck, but maybe they are just a little bit jealous! This is a great read-aloud for groups!

cute pic book! submitted by manz on July 17, 2014, 1:50pm This is a good picture book. It's funny and features silly animals. I mean, a DUCK on a BIKE! C'mon, it's funny. Thank you David Shannon. A great readaloud for preschool age.

book submitted by dree411 on August 21, 2016, 3:18pm We really like being able to recite and laugh at the animals

What’s not to love? submitted by kathscot on August 18, 2022, 3:34pm Animal antics and a variety of reactions to Duck’s feat and a laugh out loud picture at the very end.
