Two Bicycles in Beijing
by Teresa Robeson (Author) Junyi Wu (Illustrator)
One, two; yi, er. Side by side, two bicycles, Lunzi and Huangche, come out of the factory. Side by side, they watch the city of Beijing from their shop window. Then a young girl comes in and buys Huangche, rolling him away from Lunzi! With the help of a delivery boy, Lunzi begins an epic race to find her friend that introduces readers to all the sights and sounds of Beijing.

Booklist
Robeson's spare text is poetic, while Wu's hazy illustrations lend a reminiscent feel. Young readers are given the opportunity to learn a few Chinese words sprinkled throughout the text. Even better, they can indulge in warm feelings of friendship and how wonderful it is to be two.
