The first book in a picture book series about two hilarious melons trying new things, from the bestselling illustrator of I Don't Want to be a Frog. Hop on as they learn how to ride a bike!
Cantaloupe has a new bike! HoneyDo wants to see him do cool tricks. But Cantaloupe can’t do tricks. He can’t even ride. And he’s not sure he can learn. No problem—HoneyDo will show him. Sort of? You’ve never seen bike-riding like this!
Meet Cantaloupe and HoneyDo. Cantaloupe brings the caution and HoneyDo the confidence. Together, they’re learning what they can’t do, at least not at first, and what they totally can—with a little practice, a little care, and two smart melons. From riding a bike to baking a cake and more, with friends like these, new things are can-do.
"Boldt has hit comic paydirt with this hilarious read-aloud." —School Library Journal
"Light and airy as its banter . . . A delectable depiction of a fruitful relationship.” —Kirkus Reviews
