Duck on a Bike is the selected book for 2013 One Book 4 Colorado! This project, currently in its 2nd year, aims to give a copy of the same book to every 4 year old in Colorado, all 70,000+ of them, through public libraries, Denver Preschool Program preschools, and Reach Out and Read CO health clinics. Librarians and ECE educators nominated titles, we narrowed it to 3, and CO residents voted; Duck on a Bike was the winner! David Shannon visited CO to help us celebrate the project and give away the books and was absolutely wonderful. Check out the Facebook page (facebook.com/OneBook4Colorado) and website (www.onebook4colorado.org/) for much more info and photos.

This one almost made my list. It’s a recent discovery for me, but a huge story time hit. My absolutely favorite page is the same one Danae mentions – that spread showing all the animals’ faces as they get the idea to climb aboard the kids’ abandoned bikes. I love how their faces say it all, with no words necessary.

I love watching the dawning recognition of what is about to come, when an audience sees the page where the animals eye the abandoned bikes.
