Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-28 00:00:00 Robert Stansell Typically Karen books are a little annoying because Karen is often kind of annoying herself but in this one she seemed a lot more tolerable. In Stoney brook it’s bike safety month and they all learn about bike safety (this book is also educational-I didn’t know half the stuff Karen and her friends learned about bikes ) and Karen realizes her bike is too small and not as safe, so she buys a new bike while her brothers fix her old one. The bike safety courses they take all lead up to this bike riding parade thing, but Karen’s bike is stolen and so are her friends’ bikes but they find the missing bike because of this, like, security number thing. This book not only teaches you about staying safe on a bike but is also entertaining . If you aren’t a big fan of Karen books, you might still enjoy this one. I would recommend this (to younger readers)! 💜

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-01 00:00:00 Martin Ethier Karen asks for a new bike. This is what I love about this story – her dad agreed that if Karen paid for part of the bike, then YES. So, her dad did NOT tell her how to earn it and did NOT give suggestions. Karen didn’t even ask him. She simply started brainstorming ON HER OWN. There was no one else being doing the frontal lobe “executive functioning” for Karen. That is the BEST way to allow kids to develop their brain. So, Karen then comes up with a business plan. No one told her DO THIS or DO THAT. I LOVE IT! Let the child use their brain and figure it out! Great.
