I really enjoyed this book. It was different than anything else I've read recently. I couldn't put it down! I will keep an eye out for this author's future work!

I received an electronic ARC from Random House Children's through NetGalley.
Bibsy is back and partnering with her best friend, Natia, to "win" the library's bike-a-thon fundraiser. They work together to get pledges for biking laps. Bibsy struggles as she really wants to win the most money donations and forgets about the reason for the bike-a-thon. Readers see her learn to make the right decisions even when it means she may not bike the most laps.
Garton Scanlon captures life for an energetic child of this age. Readers will connect with Bibsy and enjoy the humor and underlying seriousness.

I enjoyed the latest in the Bibsy Cross series. Bibsy helps fundraiser for the library and learns that winning is not everything. I really enjoyed this and think it would be great for a classroom or home. Bibsy felt like a relatable elementary school character.

I would definitely purchase this for an elementary school library and love that it not only involved fund raising for a school library but also bicycling, complete with helmets! This would be great for fans of Jacobson Twig and Turtle or Meyerhoff's The Friendship Garden series.

Another super fun adventure with Bibsy! I really like this series and can't wait to share the books with my daughter when they come out.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

This is a very cute book. You root for the main character. This illustrations are wonderful. This would be a great read a loud book.
