An elephant rides a bicycle with a bucket attached, spraying water from its trunk as it goes, when it spots a bicycle with a light bulb on it. Whose bicycle could that be? Ah-ha! It belongs to a mole who travels through the dark underground. This time, the mole rides along and spots a very tiny bicycle. Whose bicycle could that be? It belongs to wriggling, squirming caterpillars! The caterpillars pedal along together, "heave-ho, heave-ho," and then spot a bicycle with a tree attached. Whose bicycle could that be? The story keeps unfolding, one clue leading to the next, revealing all sorts of uniquely shaped bicycles. As the question "Whose bicycle is it?" repeats throughout the book, children's imagination and curiosity grow along with it. The appearance of animals that children love, along with bicycle illustrations that reflect each animal's habits and physical features, captures young readers' attention. The sound and motion words that accompany each animal—like "Poo-oo," "Heave-ho, heave-ho," and "Ring-ring, ring-ring"—also help build children's vocabulary.
