Illustrated by
Albertine.
After watching a bicycle race, Marta the cow builds a bike of her own. She practices, and "thanks to her courage and hard work, she got better and better." Next year, Marta wins the race, beating the human cyclists and inspiring a cycling fad among cows. The droll text and loosely drawn illustrations are well matched in this free-spirited Swiss import.
