Translated by J. Alison James.
After being teased for riding a bicycle with training wheels, young dinosaur Stego Saurus removes them and promptly falls over. Encouragement from a larger young dinosaur convinces him to put them back on. The don't-run-before-you-can-walk message is communicated quite clearly, but the illustrations--of brightly colored, perpetually smiling dinosaurs--have a puzzling surreal quality.
