Gus and Grandpa and the Two-Wheeled Bike Gus is unimpressed when Ryan coolly stops his sleek five-speed bike with the hand brake. But he’s totally nonplussed when Daddy buys him a bicycle like Ryan’s. Gus will never give up his training wheels. Enter Grandpa, who wisely removes Gus from the neighborhood and curious eyes for practice, digs out Daddy’s old bike for the occasion, and patiently holds that bike as Gus rides it around and around. Gus’s ultimate triumph belongs to Grandpa as well, and will be shared enthusiastically by reluctant riders and their supportive families. Claudia Mills and Catherine Stock contribute a gem to the bike-riding genre.
Customer Review: A wonderful book
All the books in the Gus and Grandpa series are excellent.
Not only do they bring out the special bond children have with their grandparents but also teaches the young readers something along the way.
The situations or difficulties Gus encounters are common to all children and its a delight to see how Grandpa lovingly helps him through all of them. The simple and thoughtful storylines and the
great artwork also take us back to the kinder and gentler times
of our own childhood.
