Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Super Ben's Brave Bike Ride
Shelley Marshall · 2010
70/100
👍 Worth It
Super Ben's Brave Bike Ride keeps courage concrete and relatable for kindergartners — riding your bike alone on your own block is exactly the right scale of brave for a five-year-old. The parent and teacher guide at the back lifts this above a simple picture book into a genuine discussion starter for classrooms and homes.
