When Willie Got His Wheels - by RJ Davil...

Bestselling Author - KeriAnne N. Jelinek for Sloth Dreams Books and Publishing
About this episode

Willie is the coolest motorcyclist in second grade! Wait, a second grader is a motorcyclist?


Well, he dreams of becoming one―the coolest in second grade, as a matter of fact. This 7-year-old from a small, Midwestern town finds himself enamored by a scruffy, bearded motorcyclist who rides throughout his neighborhood, named Bill.


This fun and visually appealing slap-happy narrative―within the children's motorcycle book and stories in verse categories―is written in rhyme-scheme, offering a unique change of pace and flow for children's book readers ages 8-12.
