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.
Bought one of these for my son who just started K this past school year. He loves learning to read (although it's slightly for a higher level) and having this read to him on a nightly basis. Shows various kinds of motorcycles from different time frames (even the first wooden one from the 1800s) with the end being a section on kids riding motocross -- his favorite part! I purchased this 2nd copy for gift-giving. I may have to get 1-2 more for other dirt bike riding families!
My 1 year old would definitely give this book 5 stars! He seriously does not get tired of reading this book and looking at the pictures. Photos are good and show a wide variety of motorcycles and their uses. I liked learning about how they can be used as ambulances in rural places and other tidbits. However after reading it umpteen times, I'd say there are a few awkward pages as far as text goes. For example, "And choppers? Choppers are just cool!" That is the line that follows descriptive statements about dirt bikes and racing bikes. It is kind of random and a rough transition. Same with the last few pages; after an overview of most types of bikes, it finishes with a multipage focus on motocross that seems oddly placed. Still, the sentences are written in a straightforward way (no grammatical errors, that is good), so beginning readers can definitely read this as well.
This book was bought for our grandson (4 yrs old) who happens to be focused on motorcycles. So far, from all indications he does like looking at it and say he likes the book. This was one of three we bought for part of his birthday present. I would buy it again.
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.
This book is about fast cool motorcycles. If you read this book, you will enjoy it. You will see people jumping off a cliff and doing dangerous things. You will learn about different parts of motorcycles like a shift lever.My favorite part is when someone jumped in the sky and landed on his bike. I have never seen that in my life! Have you? It would be great if I was there. I wish I could bring my friends and family.When I was reading, I was excited to learn about different bikes. If you like motorcycles, you should read this book. It is cool that motorcycles can go 95 miles per hour. Kids can ride them too and do tricks. You can find this book in the library. You can also find this book at a fair or at a class library.By: Damon Q, Age 7, Brooklyn, NYHold on to your hats because this book will turn you upside down!!

It made me smile the whole time. They went really fast. When I read this book, it made me laugh a little bit. It was really cool to see people do tricks on motorcycles. I really like the dirt bikes. Somebody jumped over the Grand Canyon! His name was Robbie Knievel. I was excited. It was so cool.If you are looking for a book that tells you about motorcycles, this is a book for you.

My friend's son is really into motorcycles and has really embraced reading. He loves this book and reads it over and over. Love that it's been written for a first grade level!
A very nice book for struggling readers. It's interesting and not babyish. It encourages reading. A real find for boys or girls who like dirt bikes.
