What is it about: All of four, Ramu
wants a bike. Just like Sara’s. But his father says no because he’s too small
to ride one. Then on a hot summers day
Sara invites Ramu to ride on her cycle.
The result? An adventure which takes them from sheer delight in the
animals and people they come across during the ride to a fall that sends them
spinning downhill. What happens to the
frog, the hog and aunty on a jog all of whom Ramu and Sara came across on their
way uphill? Will little Ramu ever own a bicycle? Or will he wait to ride one till he grows
up? Read the book to know all about
Ramu’s first bicycle ride and more.
Why it stands Out: Warm, friendly
illustrations make this 60 page book a beautiful buy. The story line is simple and the text rhymes
wonderfully. It teaches young readers
about adventure, disappointment, believing in yourself, parental support and encouragement.
