Unfortunately the formatting of this eBook version does not work so I am unable to read and review this.

If the issue gets fixed, I will be happy to read and review it.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This is an excellent picture book for kids about not giving up. I also like a picture book that's not all white characters.

The bright yet simple illustrations are eye catching, and the straightforward story reminds kids of the importance of trying and not giving up. A calm and encouraging adult figure (Grandpa) offers a safe space where the kid can fail in order to succeed.

I had two bad starts with this writing/illustrating team due to technical problems with the books, but I had no such problem with this particular title, which was much better.

When a young boy gets a new scooter for his birthday, he naturally wants to ride it at once, but he can't - he keeps falling off! Well, the answer to that is perseverance and with some help from grandpa and his own mettle, the kid learns that practice makes perfect. A nicely-illustrated and fun story about sticking to it.

I love the blue! Cute story about perseverance and how you might fall and get hurt but you have to keep getting up and trying again. A good book to show kids they need to practice lots to get good at something.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with an ARC.

A story all about perseverance and getting up and trying again in this case riding a new scooter, this will teach kids try and try again, never give up and is very short and to the point.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

A message-laden book about how you have to just try and try again at certain things in life, featuring a young girl whose grandpa wants her to learn to ride a scooter. Design is fine, as we only get blue to help the black and white illustrations, meaning that everything here is clear and obvious. A little too obvious to be read often and over a long time frame, but I'm sure this would serve its purpose really well.

A simple book makes for a great read and discussion with a young child.
My four year old and I went through this quickly and were able to continue a conversation about perseverance.
A good book is one that causes discussion and learning and this does just that.

A lovely little book about a boy and his grandfather. The boy received a scooter and tries it out. He falls off and wants to give up but his grandfather teaches him to persevere to achieve.
Perfect for pre school and reception children.

This is a lovely book for toddlers and young preschoolers that introduces the topic of perseverance. It is a simple story but perfect for this age group. In this adorably illustrated children's picture book, One More Time introduces us to the main character and their grandfather who is helping the child learn how to ride a scooter.

The child finds this very challenging and gets frustrated when it doesn't come easily to them. The grandfather gently reminds the child that this was just like other things they had accomplished and that it takes time and sometimes mistakes to eventually figure something out. The child keeps trying and eventually masters the skill of the scooter. This is such a great conversation starter for children of all ages but does a great job of sharing this message in an accessible way for a younger audience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
