Elena Rides. Juana Medina. 2023. [March] 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Elena wants to ride. Elena buckles her helmet. She readies, she steadies...she pushes, she pedals! She wobbles and bobbles...KA-BANG!
Premise/plot: Elena (the elephant) is trying her best to learn how to ride a bicycle. Will she bue successful? Will her hard work and and dedication pay off?
My thoughts: I love this one so much. This one had me at hello. The cover. The end pages. Every perfect word of this perfectly-perfect narrative. (The language is SO delightful). The illustrations. This beginning reader is so charming. I loved everything about this one!
