The Magic Bicycle

'Like it or lump it, lump it or like, Ride on forever, little tike!' With these words a witch sets Danny Harris on an eventful journey round the world glued to his enchanted bicycle. His encounters with Bearskins and Bedouins, camel and crocodile, penguin and polar bear, not to mention a skeleton crew of a Ghostly Galleon, are rollickingly recounted in rhyme. The frenetic and funny illustrations match the mood of the tale and Danny's journey can be traced on the map which forms the endpapers of the book. However, I found the caricatures of some of the people unacceptable, and since when were penguins to be found in the Arctic?
