review 1: Many thanks to NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for allowing me to read and review this book in advance. With so many characters, BUG ON A BIKE would be ideal for a readers' theater with young kids. The repetition is also well-suited for young readers. The illustrations are a bit subtle for a whole-class reading--I'd use a document camera when reading this to a class in my library so that all the details can be seen by everyone. Kids will enjoy the surprise ending, and I appreciated the twist of having the bug throw his own birthday party for his friends, and not the other way around.
review 2: Bug on a Bike is a rhyming story of a bug who leads an eclectic assortment of friends up, down, around, and over until they reach a big party. I read Bug on a Bike... more on Net Galley and some of the word bubbles were not visible to the reader so it might have been a bug birthday party. I admire writers and illustrators but this book did not work for me. The rhymes did not flow easily and the illustrations were not vivid enough for my weak eyes. I did like all the party illustrations-they were lively and fun looking. less
