APPEALS TO: MANY

A duck sees a free big bike, but he has trouble riding it, and leaves it for someone else.  A rhinoceros tries the bike but it is too little.  A cheetah finds it too slow, while a turtle finds it too fast.  Other animals try it until a little girl finds it the perfect fit.  Soon she grows out of it.  What will happen to the bike?

Gillis captures all the joy of bike riding in this hilarious and heartfelt tale.  I appreciated Souva's use of white space and his simple adorable pictures.
