Sally Jean, the Bicycle Queen by Cari BestPicture Book Shelves - Lower Level - BES
Sally Jean Sprockett loves to ride bikes from a very young age. At first, she is in a baby seat behind her mother. Soon she has her very own tricycle. Sally Jean loves to honk her horn and wave to people as she watches familiar springtime sights of caterpillars, birds, and lawn mowers. Eventually she nicknames herself “The Bicycle Queen” because she can “pop wheelies,” “touch the sky,” and fix her friends’ bicycles. It seems like Sally Jean will always be happy with her bike “Flash” until she turns 8 years old. Now she is too big for “Flash.” What is a girl to do?
Told in lilting rhyme with a repetitive text, Sally Jean, the Bicycle Queen by Cari Best is the perfect story for young listeners. They will love to see that as Sally Jean changes, her bike "Flash" adjusts right along with her. The beautiful ink-and-watercolor illustrations by Christine Davenier match the delightful story perfectly. Further, the pictures convey just the right springtime freshness that makes this the perfect read for the next couple of months.
