When Duck gets the zany idea to ride a bike one day, each animal on the farm has a reaction. "M-o-o-o," says Cow. But what she's really thinking is, "A duck on a bike? That's the silliest thing I've ever seen!" Pig and Pig say "Oink," thinking all the while, "Duck is such a show-off!" But it's not until a crew of kids shows up and leaves their bikes lying about that the true feelings of all the animals come to light, and for one brief, glorious moment, the farm is a mad, mad world of two-wheeling road hogs (and chickens and horses and goats). David Shannon, the creator of Caldecott Honor Book, No, David!, fills the pages of this barnyard romp with sun-soaked color, charming animals, and unusual perspectives. We see Cat, for example, looming belly-first in the foreground, with Duck merrily pedaling away in the distance. The story itself is nothing to write home about--No, David! is far snappier and more original--but younger kids may well enjoy the repetitive crescendo and the goofy finale. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. ³I bet I could ride a bike,² he thought. He waddled over to where a boy had parked his bike, and climbed on, and began to ride. At first he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rides past Sheep, Horse, and all the other barnyard animals and when a group of kids ride by on their bikes, leaving them to go into the farmhouse all of the animals get to ride bikes, just like Duck!

 Duck on a Bike, June 10, 2010

The illustrations jump out at you, demanding your attention. Animals talking get children's attention right away.
This books demonstrates kindness towards the duck from all his friends even though they all felt something different. I loved the ideas that each animal had about them being on a bike.I'm sure small children will be delighted with the dialogue and the colorful pictures.

Clever and Charming Artwork and Story, April 22, 2010

The best artwork I've seen in a children's book, and I've read a lot of them. It's a cute and funny story, but the illustrations steal the show. Everyone should have this one in their library, and have a spare for a gift.

My daughter loved this book and now my 3 year old son LOVES this book. It is his favorite and I have to read it to him every day. Needless to say I have it memorized by now! The artwork is so wonderful! Bright and colorful illustrations that depict the mood of the animals. We all love this one - but dying to know - will there be "Duck on a Tractor"??? We hope so!
