Marta y la bicicleta

"With perfect poker-face kookiness, a Swiss team chronicles how an indefatigable, bicycle-loving bovine named Marta becomes a racing champion… Although the trend-setting Marta is ready to move on at story's end ("If everyone is going to ride bicycles, I'll have to find something else," she says, as her fellow herd members balance on two wheels), youngsters will rally for a repeat rendezvous with this slyly funny heroine who refuses to be cowed." - Publishers Weekly

"Marta's indomitable spirit plunging forth into new experiences is hard to resist." - Kirkus Reviews

"The droll text and loosely drawn illustrations are well matched in this free-spirited Swiss import." - The Horn Book

"...teaches the value of independence, and the power of determination." - For Immediate Release Reviews
