Chris Monroe Releases New Picture Book

As a bug on his bike rides through meadows and up and down hills, he invites his friends to come along. Written in verse, Bug on a Bike, published by Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner Publishing Group, rewards both the bug's friends and readers with a delightful ending.

Author and illustrator Chris Monroe creates an alternate world in which a bug can ride a bike (with a helmet, of course!) and make friends with everything from an entire herd of cows to an athletic pickle. Monroe's pen-and-watercolor illustrations are filled with silly details, and readers are sure to notice new quirks every time they read Bug on a Bike.

This read-aloud romp is an entertaining ride that takes readers along with hoppy toad Randy, butterfly Andy, clams in their boats, three billy goats, and more oddball friends of the bug on the bike to a satisfying conclusion that includes-spoiler alert!-birthday cake.
