A counting book for the youngest -- filled with motion, excitement, and suspense. Twelve riders compete in a bicycle race. Who will win? (A word to the wise: Keep your eye on Number 9!) This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this for my daughter when she was only two or three years old and my wife and I read it to her at many many bedtimes. She made us give names of friends and family to each rider and she would make herself the winner most of the time. Young kids will love to hear and learn to read with this book
The Endurer Wins!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This story seems to be about a simple bicycle race; butit'sdeeper than that. This story exemplifies the power of endurance.A race where all contestants are riding bicycles. Fair enough exceptone of the contestants has to stop to fix their bike. They don't just fix the bike and return to the beginning of the race giving up; but they instead continue in the race not only to finish -that was an encouragement in itself-but to go on to win really says a lot. This is an excelent story to encourage our youth to continue on no matter what problem you can not only make it but be successful. This story says don't go on trying to just finish your course. Instead acknowledge that you have a problem, handle it and move on to obtain your prize. We all no the the saying that derived from the scriptures about how the race isn't given to the swift nor the battle to the strong but to he that endureth till the end. This book, again, tells me that I don't only get to finish the race but I can be a winner in the race. To God be the Glory!
