– read and learn, Lola Schaefer (2003)
Raintree 1 844 21383 8 Octo 24pp £4.99
A colourful paperback aimed at young readers, probably in the first
years of primary school
A nice, simple book from a series based on means of transport (the
others are busses, cars and trains). Each spread has a couple of
pictures and four easy sentences explaining about different kinds
of bicycle – from BMX, to track bikes and mountain bikes.

This would a fun book to give to and read with a child that you
were hoping to interest in cycling. Ideally, it might be used to
tee up the arrival of that child’s first bicycle.

How this site is organised
As reviews are added, they are featured on the
front page. All titles are listed in the master index and cross-referenced
in the other indicies.
The subject line contains the title, author and
date of each book's publication. As a general rule, we list the
date of the actual edition that we read, unless there is an obvious
reason to use the original date (say where we read a reprint).
The first line of the main text contains the name
of the publisher, the ISBN
number, where it exists, an indication of the book's
size and the number of printed pages that it contains. Finally,
where it is clear, I list the published price of the work in the
currency that is most prominently displayed.
We summarise the book in a single sentence or two
in the next line. The rest of the review is then intended as a self-contained
piece.
