WHAT'S THE MATTER, SYLVIE, CAN'T YOU RIDE?

by Karen Born Andersen ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 11, 1981

How Sylvie, whose feet insist on jerking down to the safety of the sidewalk whenever she tries to ride her bike, finally gets angry enough to peddle furiously. . . and so finds herself on a downhill course ""speeding along surely, swiftly, with no fear at all."" Earlier, Virginia has zipped by taunting ""Can't you ride?""--and now Sylvie tosses the same question to little Georgie, who is still trying to learn. We'd prefer more magnanimity in triumph, but Anderson's pictures give disgruntled Sylvie's endeavors a catchy, expressive, individual slant.
