Review: Illustrated, but awkward words

I am loving children's picture e-books, but with such a new niche the e-books can be hit and miss. This one is a miss for me.The illustrations are nice enough, I really like the cover, but the text reads awkwardly. Children's picture books are meant to be read aloud, and this "poem" doesn't read aloud well. Its rhythm is forced and doesn't tell a story, just preaches an environmental philosophy. Plus, the message to choose a bike over any car seems heavy handed and uninteresting for young children.
