WHETHER THEY'RE JUMPING barrels, zipping along the highway on a road trip, or tearing up the motocross track, motorcycles are the coolest things on two wheels! Choppers! authors Susan Goodman and Michael Doolittle show readers the many types of motorcycles there are, how they work, and some of the exciting jobs, competitions, and events that feature them. This actionpacked Step 3 reader is filled with vibrant color photographs!
This book is great for explaining to little ones in simple terms the components of motorcycles as well as the different types of motorcycles. I think it could also help reluctant readers that were fans of motorcycles. Good information in language that will engage kids and not scare them away. The information appears to be accurate (I am not a motorcycle expert) although I am sure the field changes so often it may be slightly dated. But, an overall great book that my motorcycle loving little ones really enjoy.
A BIG fan!

My 3 year old is into motorcycles. We happened upon this book at our local Walmart. He has the book completely memorized. It's been months and we still read it regularly. I had to limit it, actually. He LOVES it. He points out the parts of the motorcyles he sees, tells me what kind he sees. All of this is covered in the book. The pictures are abundant and interesting. It's got lots of information for older children (up to age 7 or 8) but still basic enough for a bright 2.5 or 3 year old who is an enthusiast. I can't believe I am writing the first review for this book. I highly recommend it and am looking for more books like this in the step into reading series that are of interest to him. Not all the books in the series have been a hit, but this one is, hands down, his favorite.
