loyal friendship." - Kirkus Reviews "A sweet tale about

messages to teach children about love, friendship, forgiveness and
faithfulness. The illustrations are stunning and serve to enhance
the story. It is a book that children will come back to again and
again and is written in such a way as to help new readers develop
their own reading skills." - LoveReading4Kids "In
comparing this storybook to The Giving Tree, I take my hat
off to Maria Monte for putting a greater sense of compassion and
gratitude into the tale." - Readers' Favorite "An
uplifting picture book in which a girl forms a magical friendship
that lasts throughout the years." - Foreword Reviews

towards others. Ellery's Magic Bicycle is a wonderful story for
readers of all ages. It would make an excellent addition to any
library." - The Children's Book Review "This tale of a
young girl and a magic bicycle is alive with warmth and feeling."
