Why read it?
2 authors picked Wild Blue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was instantly attracted to this book because of its cover—the title Wild Blue is very intriguing and the bike’s shadow that becomes a horse is so clever.
I loved all the illustrations—they perfectly captured how Kayla (the main character) sees bikes to be horses. The author’s word choices, showing us how Kayla is a cowgirl and a budding horseback rider made me smile. I also loved Wild Blue’s character and Kayla’s determination to tame her.
Plus, I love horses, biking, and the great outdoors, so this book is a great fit for me!
Kayla has outgrown her three-wheeled “pink pony”—her tricycle—but is nervous about making the switch to a two-wheeled big-kid bike.
When she tries her new ride, Wild Blue, she is thrown again and again. Bumps... bruises... falls. They’re all part of learning to ride—so is perseverance! The story explores how the transition from training wheels or trikes is made better by using one’s imagination. Tender, colorful illustrations help the story come alive.
