AlbakiReads Editorial

A first bicycle, a shaky start

Speedysaurus begins with an ambitious picture of cycling: she wants to race and win medals. Learning to ride, however, brings wobbles and falls, and she considers giving up. With Grannysaurus’s reminder that an uncertain beginning need not define the finish, the story centers on perseverance and finding a different way to view a difficult start. Its 32-page picture-book format frames trying something new as a process that may take practice, rather than an instant success.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering a new skill or activity
  • Families and educators looking for a story about persistence after setbacks

Book overview

An uplifting tale about perseverance and resilience, by Rachel Bright and Chris Chatterton, creators of the bestselling The Worrysaurus and The Hugasaurus!

 

Speedysaurus gets her very first bicycle! She is excited to start speeding along and dreams of entering a bicycling competition and winning all the medals! But she keeps WIBBLING and WOBBLING until she FALLS. This little dinosaur is just about ready to give up, but Grannysaurus reminds her that a shaky start doesn't have to mean a wobbly finish. Can Speedysaurus find a new way of looking at things and turn her day around?

An empowering story with a reassuring reminder that it is not always a smooth and speedy start when trying something new. From the author of the bestselling The Lion Inside and Love Monster, and talented illustrator, Chris Chatterton.
