\"\"<\/a>Bibsy Cross and the Bike-a-thon<\/em><\/p>\n

by Liz Garton Scanlon
\nillustrated by Dung Ho<\/p>\n

Alfred A. Knopf, 2024. 112 pages.
\nReview written October 25, 2024, from a book sent to me by the publisher.<\/p>\n

Bibsy Cross and the Bike-a-thon<\/em> is a new beginning chapter book series about an irrepressible third grader named Bibsy Cross. This is the second one I’ve read.<\/p>\n

In this book, Bibsy is excited about taking part in a “Bikes for Bucks for Books” event at the local library – so of course she got a fan here.<\/p>\n

Bibsy forms a team with her best friend Natia, and is torn because she very much wants to win a prize for bringing in the most money for the library. Then on the day of the Bike-a-thon, things happen to mess up her plans.<\/p>\n

I like Bibsy’s spirit – she has a tendency to raise her hand in class and share so much information that she tries the patience of her teacher. And I like the way her family shares “sweet-and-sours” at the dinner table – sweet things that happened and sour things that happened, and even ways the sour things have something sweet come out of them. And I love the way her parents are sympathetic about everything that happens to Bibsy, sweet or sour.<\/p>\n

There are pictures on almost every page of this book, and not a whole lot of words per page, so this book is perfect for a kid building confidence in their reading.<\/p>\n
