Book Review: Want to Know. The Bicycle by Lucas Arnoldussen & Marc Janssen

Want to Know. The Bicycle by Lucas Arnoldussen & Marc Janssen is a children's non fiction book that is really fit for all ages. Do you want to know all about the bicycle? What did the first bike look like? How many kinds of bikes are there? How can you chose the best bike for you? What kinds of cycling sports are there? Who are the most famous racing cyclists? Beyond the basic information about bicycles and those that ride them are rhymes, repair information, a mini quiz, a fold out page and more.

Want to Know. The Bicycle is an interesting and informative picturebook. While aimed at young readers, and worded so that everyone can understand the text, I found that I learned a few things as well. The illustrations and information are paired well, and I think it will capture and hold the interest of a wide range of readers. The fold out page of the bike shop was interesting, and I liked the information on the variety of bikes and some of the most famous bike riders- even the less than positive things about them. I think this is an all around well done non fiction picturebook that will appeal and capture the imagination and interest of a wide range of readers.
