Why read it?
1 author picked The Patchwork Bike as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In a village at the end of a no-go desert, siblings need to make their own fun. Need a bike? Build your own from scratch!
With a milk pot, old flour sack, and other everyday items, a bike is born—one that can bumpety-bump over the hot sand hills. Sound-words, rhythmic text, and a theme of perseverance make this a stand-out story. Street artist Van Thanh Rudd created illustrations that capture the rough-and-tumble world and its lively characters.
From Elizabeth's list on bikes and biking for kids.
