"Ajay is getting a new bike for his birthday, but his family reminds him that he must be responsible while having fun with his new bike. His sister gives him a helmet, mom adjusts his seat and pedals so they are the appropriate height, his brother gives Ajay a reflective shirt so he can be seen, and Dad shows him hand signals. Each scene is accompanied by a "Safety Tip" box to further reinforce bike safety. The rules are woven into a story about Ajay's first bike ride. The reader or listener picks up tips without feeling like they are reading a safety manual. Brightly colored illustrations and large simple text make this a good choice to share with a group of young bike riders. This is a good choice for both parent and child to share before venturing out on a family ride. A bibliography, glossary, and website are provided for further information about bicycle safety. This book is one of four books in the series "How to Be Safe."
