Wobblysaurus

The Wobblysaurus by Rachel Bright, illustrated by Chris Chatterton
 
Wobblysaurus cannot wait to ride her very first bicycle with her friends. But whenever she sets off, she wibbles, wobbles and falls. However hard she tries, those new wheels simply will not go where she wants them to.
 
Just as she is ready to give up, wise Grannysaurus reminds her that everybody starts off wobbly when learning something new. With encouragement, determination and a different way of looking at her shaky beginning, Wobblysaurus finds the confidence to try once more.
 
Rachel Bright’s warm rhyming text and Chris Chatterton’s lively full-colour illustrations turn a familiar childhood challenge into an encouraging story about perseverance. The repeated wibbles and wobbles make it especially enjoyable to read aloud, while the bicycle-riding story offers a natural way to discuss frustration, practice and progress.
 
Funny, reassuring and full of dinosaur appeal, The Wobblysaurus is a supportive picture book for children learning a new skill or finding it difficult to keep going when success does not come straight away.
