Being Six And Blowing Out Candlesticks

<p>In Being Six And Blowing Out Candlesticks our Birthday Girl makes a wish for a new bicycle while blowing out the candles on her birthday cake. She tells this wish only to her friend Lori. But a new bike is not in the Birthday Girl’s gifts so Lori brings her a bike.</p><p>The bike Lori brings is not new but old dirty and worn down. Our Birthday Girl explains “This bike was in Lori’s shed for years. This ugly-old bike nearly brings me to tears.” Lori convinces our Birthday Girl to take pride in the bike. “She explains that now that I am six; six is a good age to learn how to fix.” So fix it our Birthday Girl does but not without some amusing setbacks. Lessons are learned and a strong determination leads to a bike riding adventure. Colorful and imaginative illustrations wonderfully enrich this lovely book.</p>
