    [synopsis] => Caldecott Honor winner David Shannon applies his wonderful off-beat humor to the story of a duck who decides to try riding a bike -- and loves it!  Another young, funny book perfect for reading aloud.
	One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea.  "I bet I could ride a bike," he thought.  He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on and began to ride.  At first he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her.  "Hello, Cow!" said Duck. "Moo," said Cow. But what she thought was, "A duck on a bike? That's the silliest thing I've ever seen!" And so Duck rides past sheep, horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck!            * "A 'quackerjack' of a terrific escapade." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review*"Exuberant." -- Booklist, starred review "Shannon serves up a sunny blend of humor and action in this delightful tale of a Duck who spies a red bicycle one day and gets a wild idea...the result is one swell read-aloud, packed with free- wheeling fun." -- Publishers Weekly"This delightful story will have youngsters chiming in on the repeated phrases and predicting, in no time, what will come next, and the many animal sounds provide ample opportunities for role-playing. Shannon's brightly colored spreads are filled with humor." -- School Library Journal"Rarely have the familiar barnyard animals been reiterated in a picture book with such panache."  -- The Horn Book       David Shannon is the internationally acclaimed creator of more than 30 picture books, including No, David!, a Caldecott Honor Book and his second New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and four more David picture books.
