A Big Boy Now

by Eileen Spinelli (Author) Megan Lloyd (Illustrator)

A Big Boy Now
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

From getting dressed all by himself to making his own bed and helping Dad wash the car, this little bunny is certainly a big boy now. But riding his bike without training wheels? That might just prove too difficult.

Young readers will cheer for and relate to the little bunny who learns that no matter how big and grown up you are, you are never too old to go to Mom for some help . . . and a hug.

PreS-K--A proud bunny tells of all the things he has learned to do on his own, such as swing high, help his father wash the car, and share his scooter with a friend. However, trying to grow up a bit too fast, the young rabbit removes the training wheels from his bicycle and encounters some difficulties. After falling off the unsteady bike and getting soothed by a bandage, a kiss, and a reassuring talk with his mother, he considers putting the training wheels back on. After mulling it over, he decides to leave them off and slowly practices learning to ride his bike without assistance. His success adds another "big boy" skill to his growing repertoire of accomplishments. Children will be pleased with the young bunny's achievement.--Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
