Sidney the Little Blue Elephant

by Sharon Rentta

Sidney is quite small for an elephant, but that doesn't make riding a bike any easier and when all his friends decide to have a bike race he is left behind. Luckily, once they have noticed his absence, his friends are able to track Sidney down by following the trail of destruction he leaves in his wake and it only takes a bit of support and encouragement for him to achieve his potential as a cyclist.

Young children are sure to be charmed by Sidney's endearing character and to identify with his uncertainty as he learns a new skill. Vibrant illustrations add energy to this simple tale of friendship and trust.
