Teacher Mom
... This book is not simply about a girl learning to ride a bike, it is more about the way a parent feels when they may no longer be needed. I heard it read aloud by a storyreader and I, as a parent of mostly grown children, cried at the touching sentiment in this story. If you are in the same "life place" that I am, you'll understand. I will purchase this book for soon...

I found this book to be disturbing. After the little girl DOES learn to ride a bike, the father says "...it's difficult letting you go, I was scared too today -- scared you would never come back to me now that you can ride away." Huh? And then.... the daughter says, "Daddy, I'm here. I won't let go. Not until you say. Hold on tight...

Huh? And then.... the daughter says, "Daddy, I'm here. I won't let go. Not until you say. Hold on tight. I love you so we'll do this together, okay?" Who is the parent here? This poor girl might need counseling when she grows up. Seriously, this view is way too mixed up. I took the book back. That's all I needed, my daughter learning to ride a bike, thinking her dad is scared she'll "never come back?!" Pass on this one. |
