From the publisher

In this humorous story for children ages 3-7, Mr. Norton finds that a bear has borrowed his bicycle and accidentally ruined the wheels. How will Mr. Norton get to work now? One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a bear has accidentally broken his bicycle, and now he doesn’t have a way to get to work. As the week progresses, Mr. Norton tries different vehicles for his journey with limited success: The bus is too busy, his roller skates slip too much, his scooter is too small, and his little red wagon is too wobbly! Luckily, Mr. Norton remembers that his grandfather’s old truck is in the barn. What could possibly go wrong . . .?
