Description

Beginning readers--and beginning riders--will be drawn to this bright, buoyant story of a determined elephant and her loyal sidekick, from the award-winning creator of Juana & Lucas.

Conoce a la valiente Elena y al pajarito rojo que la anima a no darse por vencida en este libro ideal para nuevos lectores!

Elena quiere montar en bici.
Empieza a montar, empieza a rodar.
Ella se mece y se bambolea ...
CATAPLAM!
Elena, aprender a montar en bici es difĂ­cil.
Pero tĂș puedes lograrlo.
Inténtalo, inténtalo de nuevo!

Elena wants to ride her bike. She steadies, she readies. She wobbles, she bobbles . . . KA-BANG! Learning to ride a bike is hard. But Elena can do it. She just has to try, try again. With this reassuring story of childlike persistence, Juana Medina, creator of the acclaimed Juana & Lucas series, introduces Elena, a plucky elephant, and the little red bird who is Elena's faithful cheerleader. Simple, energetic text and bold, brilliant artwork convey a relatable tale of the ups and downs of learning something new (not without protest or tears) and the final thrill of mastery that will have children rooting for Elena and ready for her next adventure.

Critical Reviews

This sweet story about doing difficult things will have children rooting for Elena to get back up again. Medina's simple text and liberal use of white space make this a helpful work for emerging readers. The bright illustrations and strong lines will keep kids engaged, while the friendship story will ring true. . . This repeated and reassuring text will remind beginning readers that no matter how many times you may fall, you can always try again.
