Raising safe motorcycle riders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Lucky Chuck I am a grandmother who rides a Fat Boy Harley Davidon motorcyle. My little grandson has always been drawn to my bike. He has a little battery powered motorcyle he pretends is his real Harley! I bought him this book when he was 2. It has been one of his very favorite for the past 2 years. The little boy in the book works on an after school job and saves up for a used motorcycle. His mother worries that he will lay his bike down and be injured. Chuck does just that due to speeding and riding in an unsafe manner. After he gets a ticket, he decides to follow his motorcycle safety training and becomes a safe rider. My grandson always gets his safety gear on when riding his pretend motorcycle. He has learned about safe riding actions and the importance of wearing the right clothing. (He loves to hear how his grandmother has laid her bike down.) He loves the story and insists on reading it over and over. I highly recommend this for any little boy because they all some day dream of riding a motorcycle!
Great Intro to Road Safety

I read this with my 3 year old son, and he adored it! We've had it out of the library at least 12 times, and have decided to buy our own copy. It is well-written and realistically-illustrated, with an emphasis on safety, rules and respecting the police. Mom figures largely, also! I recommend this to anyone with a child who is a motorcycle nut; the endpages have neat illustrations of the parts of a motorcycle!
