Packed with prompts and lots to see on every page, this is a sweet story for the sharpest of eyes.

Our Review Panel says...

A wonderful celebration of bicycles of all kinds! Etta the Elephant is taking a trip to her Aunt Ellen’s house and passes through bicycle-filled Cycle City, filled with bikes of all shapes and sizes, and then gets to witness a brilliant bicycle parade. This is an engaging picture book with so many details to spot in the illustrations and a very good stimulus for generating discussion and descriptive writing.
