Bookroo's summary

On a whim, Duck decides to ride a bike, wobbling past skeptical barnyard animals. As he gains confidence, a group of kids leaves their bikes unattended, sparking a hilarious two-wheeled adventure for all the animals. Can the farm handle this new craze, or will chaos ensue? Discover the fun and unexpected twists as Duck leads the charge in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. “I bet I could ride a bike,” he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on and began to ride. At first he rode slowly and he wobbled a lot, but it was fun! Duck rode past Cow and waved to her. “Hello, Cow!” said Duck. “Moo,” said Cow. But what she thought was, “A duck on a bike? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen!”

And so Duck rides past sheep, horse, and all the other barnyard animals. Suddenly, a group of kids ride by on their bikes and run into the farmhouse, leaving the bikes outside. Now ALL the animals can ride bikes, just like Duck!
