Another good Arthur book, if I was Francine and I didn’t like a bike that was given to me old and not in great shape I would tell my parents or try to make look the way I wanted it myself, I would never try to throw it away or get it stolen like she did. I’m happy she told her dad in the end what had happen😊

Read this to my Kindergarten class during D.E.A.R time.
It’s a good book to read to a class because of how quick the chapters can be read. It didn’t contain vocabulary that was too advanced for them so they didn’t feel lost. The story was interesting but easy enough to follow that they were able to remember and summarize what we read on the previous day. They really loved it!

I enjoyed the theme of this book. I wouldn't use this book in my classroom other than having it in my classroom library. I would encourage my students to read this book because it can teach them how a lesson in possessions. I give this book a 3 out of 5 because I feel like it could have been more original.

The Mystery of the Stolen Bike, is a book from Arthur. Kids love the show. The book is very descriptive. This is a good book to use when you want kids to think outside the box.
