"An attractive Venezuelan import: Senora Amelia would like to grant her handsome pet's birthday wish to be the very first bicycle-riding hen. It seems impossible: bikes for hens aren't available. Fortunately, an itinerant inventor happens by in time to design and make one, just in time for Rosaura's birthday. The mellow, affectionate illustrations here nicely convey the humor - and also provide a believable bike, of wood. A pleasantly offbeat story of cheerful persistence solving an apparently unsolvable problem." - Kirkus Reviews
"Lively pastel illustrations make this original story, set in a small town in Venezuela, a joy to read and listen to." - Booklinks
"The delightfully colored pencil illustrations portray the aura of this South American town with side streets and clothing on display throughout! A darling story that will be enjoyed by all!" - Newton's Book News
