About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is bursting with 'big kid' energy but needs a playful reminder that enthusiasm works best when paired with a little bit of preparation. It is perfect for children who are about to embark on a new milestone, like getting their first bike, and might be prone to rushing into things without checking the instructions (or the brakes). In this humorous tale, Bonnie O'Boy is so consumed by the thrill of her new bicycle that she speeds through her neighborhood, forgetting one crucial skill: how to stop. Through Bonnie's high-speed adventure, children learn about the balance between independence and responsibility. The story uses exaggerated humor to de-escalate the anxiety of making mistakes, making it a gentle, funny way to talk about safety and the importance of listening to 'boring' advice before starting a new hobby.
