Bicycles Around The World, Kate Petty (2006)
Frances Lincoln Childrens' Books 1 84507 331 2 Quarto 28pp £9.99
A series of spreads, each featuring cycling in different parts
of the world, with an accompanying four line text that could be
read by a five or six year old
 
|
A series of photographs that illustrate the universal use of the bicycle.
Examples are drawn from all continents, and a wide range of situations.
They are all nice, bright photos and a great way to seed the idea that
we are part of a global movement of peddlers.

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.
