Hedgehog adores his new bike. He wants to share it with his friend, Harry. Oddly, Harry does not want to ride it. What's going on?
A perfect early reader, with simple text and repetition that builds fluency, and conversations that allow readers to give text a natural sound. Children will want to read this book over and over and over, and that's great for early reading, too.

Do You Like My Bike was a super adorable book. I would definitely use this in a classroom with students who are just learning how to read. The text was super simple, the pictures are bright and inviting, and there aren't many pages in it. I think this book and the others in the Hello, Hedgehog series will give students the confidence that they need in order to move on to more complex material.

July 1, 2019This book is absolutely adorable. I wish the trim size was bigger, but I guess it is nice for a child's hands. I love the characters and their dialogue and can't wait for the next book. Lots of repetition for an early reader.

Perfection!!!! Simple, fun, and graphic novel in easy reader format. Adorable.

The first story in this book made me laugh out loud. It's so typical of human behavior. In the first story, Hedgehog is so excited to ride his new bike, but he can't find his bike helmet. He searches throughout the house including the freezer and the flower pot. But not until he looks out the window does he remember what he did with it. (It's so typically human to put something somewhere specifically so you remember where it is, only to forget it's location anyway.) The second story has Hedgehog introducing his bike to his guinea pig friend, Harry. But Harry is really reluctant to ride the bike when Hedgehog offers him a try. Luckily, Hedgehog is a great friend and reacts perfectly when he discovers why. And the third story has Harry and Hedgehog sharing a bike ride together to Hedgehog's house to have some snacks (Harry is especially interested in snacks). A delightful book any way you look at it. The illustrations are bright and appealing, the characters are fun, and the stories are easy for both children and adults to relate to. A great new series for early readers.

{My thoughts} – Hedgehog gets a new bike. He wants to ride bikes with his friend Harry. Harry is afraid to ride Hedgehog’s bike. Harry still needs training wheels.
This is a really nice beginner reader. It helps to show children they can read books relevant to things in their life. Most children in Kindergarten and first grade are learning how to ride bikes. Some learn faster then others, but for the most part this is a completely relate-able book.
I really like how it is written in a graphic novel like format. The text and the illustrations go together nicely and help to hold the readers attention. I look forward to being able to share this book with my little one’s when they are start learning how to read.

Okay this was adorable so I marked "humor." I marked "manners" because Hedgehog has to kind of work out why his friend won't ride his bike, but when they figure out why, he's much more polite and kind about it. I marked it as a book about "responsibility" because Hedgehog is VERY serious about finding his bike helmet before he can ride his bike. I also LOVE that it's a ready reader book that looks like a comic book. Bring on the encouragement towards comics and graphic novels! Super cute, but may be too long for one of my storytimes. That wouldn't stop me from recommending it to others though.

Someone I follow on Instagram suggested this book for beginning readers. My almost 8 year old still has little faith in his reading abilities, so I requested this from the library and told him he had to read 20 minutes a day during the summer. He asked to read to me today instead of just reading to himself. He read the entire book (43 pages with 3-5 sentences per page), quickly and with little issue, and actually enjoyed the story. Most easy reads are so dry. This one was repetitive, but still a fun story.

Checked out the hardcover library binding from my public library. The binding is tightly sewn and the small, square size (maybe 7 inches) is just right for preschoolers and Kinders to pack in their backpacks and hold in their hands as they practice their reading of this short, sweet tale of friendship.

A great transitional reading book for kids who want to move past picture books but aren't quite ready for full-fledged chapter books or graphic novels.

Such a cute book! Hedgehog and Harry are great friends. Patience and acceptance are important parts of friendship and this book helps to demonstrate both.

I like Hedge Hog and his bell ringing habit. Now I need a bell for my bike!

Fantastic! I love the characters, the illustrations, and the story. I giggled more than once while reading this. :)

For fans of Elephant and Piggie or the classic Frog and Toad stories, here are two new friends for readers to meet. Hedgehog wants to show Harry his new bike, a bike which has everything. He even offers to let Harry ride it. Why does Harry turn him down? Could he really not like the bike with its basket, squishy handlebars, and even a bell?
Repetitive sentences make reading easier for beginners, and the illustrations support the text and add to the humor of the story. A new bike is a relatable topic for young readers and other books in the series center around a sleepover and a checkup.

Hedgehog is eager to ride his new bike but he can't find his helmet, he then goes to show Harry his new bike and offer Harry a ride, and finally they go to Hedgehog's house for snacks.
Three little graphic novel stories about a hamster and a hedgehog and their bike/friend adventures. The stories are all a little silly, and the text is pretty simple so the appeal for beginning readers should be high. I like the middle story and the message of acceptance for varying levels of bike riding. Recommended to animal lovers, beginning readers, and silly story fans.

I was prepared not to like this book as I generally don't care for early reader-specific books. They too often just seem pedantic. While there is an element of teaching in this Acorn title, I suspect that the genuine-feeling friendship between the two characters, combined with the shared excitement of a new bike, might just pull some of my early readers in. I am curious to see how this one does. Plus: the author/illustrator provides a how-to-draw lesson for hedgehog at the end of the book. Could be a fun and engaging activity for centers.

I glanced through this yesterday while I was shelving books at the library and it made me smile so I read through it today and it made me chuckle a few times. It's a cute book about bikes and friendship. It also teaches a soft lesson about that it's okay to use training wheels, even if your friend no longer uses them (the character who uses them was reluctant to show their bike but when their friend found out about the training wheels they let them know that it was no big deal).

Hedgehog has a new bike! He is excited to ride it and show his friends. But where is his helmet? This is the first book in the Hello Hedgehog beginning reader series. Conversation bubbles identify when Hedgehog and his friend Harry are speaking. The stories are entertaining and relatable, and a delightful next step for Elephant and Piggie fans.

We meet a cute hedgehog and their friend Harry (who is a guinea pig? A hamster? A gerbil?). Each chapter builds off of itself and ties everything together. A cute new series for beginning readers.
For: beginning readers looking for a cute animals.
Possible red flags: fear of trying new things/being made fun of.

Hedgehog has a new bike and wants Harry to try it, but Harry tries to avoid it until he admits that he has training wheels. I love that a reader talked about the idea of being uncomfortable about using training wheels when a friend is riding a two-wheeler. (Until I read the "About the Author," I wasn't sure what Harry was...a guinea pig. I wish that was made more obvious.)

OMGoodness, this is a fabulous little picture/comic book for early readers. Addresses friendship, fear or nervousness, and problem solving skills to little ones. Super adorable. Will be looking for more of these!

February 4, 2020It isn't War & Peace, but your beginning, independent reader will love the quick pace and cute characters in this graphic novel chapter book. A great choice for reading circles at the elementary level and practicing reading independently at home.

Hedgehog got a new bike and was excited to ride it and share it with his friend Harry. This easy-to-read book is in three short chapters: Lost Helmet; New Bike; Snacks. Cute story of friendship. Nicely illustrated.

A gently little early-reader, graphic novel series of a friendship. Each book shows Hedgehog helping Harry through a fear in generous compassion. Overall the feeling is a bit didactic, I don't know that young readers would seek it out for a reread.

A hedgehog loves their new bike and wants their friend guinea pig/hamster to like it too.
