Monsieur Albert Rides to Glory

By Peter Smith · Illustrated by Bob Graham About

There’s a hush in the crowd as the mayor lifts his gun, then an ear-splitting Bang! and the race has begun, with a flashing of goggles and pale cyclists’ knees, and a murmuring sound like the bumble of bees. Monsieur Albert enters the Grand Cycle Race, but he’s up against Francois, the champion of France. Can he possibly win? Witty text by Pete Smith and gentle, funny illustrations by Bob Graham make this story a classic, ideal for reading aloud to young and old. For children 6-8 and cycling enthusiasts of all ages – Themes include Tour de France, ‘slow and steady wins the race’, competitiveness, Paris and the French countryside
