Product Description WHETHER THEY'RE JUMPING barrels, zipping along the highway on a road trip, or tearing up the motocross track, motorcycles are the coolest things on two wheels! Choppers! authors Susan Goodman and Michael Doolittle show readers the many types of motorcycles there are, how they work, and some of the exciting jobs, competitions, and events that feature them. This actionpacked Step 3 reader is filled with vibrant color photographs! From Booklist The facts are "awesome," the action is "cool," and the breathless exclamatory text in this Step into Reading title is illustrated with big color photos on every double-page spread. Starting with stunt jumpers and racing bikes, the short chapters show motorcyclists at work as police, soldiers, and rescue workers. The authors also cover the special gear that riders wear to stay safe, and, finally, the popular motocross races on rough ground ("Kids can do it, too"). A central spread shows a motorcycle close up, with all the parts labeled. There is no mention of noise pollution and high injury rates associated with motorcycles, but this is a fun readaloud for preschoolers to add to their vrooming play, and it is sure to grab some new readers who think books are heavy and dull.
