Average rating
Perfect for reading together or for children who are just starting to read alone. Filled with gorgeous illustrations. Willow Valley is a very special place. Nestled in a hidden valley, trees of all shapes and sizes grew on the rolling green hills and pretty flowers dance in the meadows. Only the animals who live there know their way in and out, but they hardly ever want to leave because they’re having too much fun! Riley the mouse, Starla the badger and Horatio the hedgehog are the best of friends. Riley has been challenged to a bike race by the class bully Rothwell. Can Riley win?

I liked Horatio the best because he was so funny and he was trying to eat all of the toffee apples and wanted to carry them to the party. Then every one said 'no'!

It's a nice book about friendship and the characters are small animals like rodents. The Wind in the Willows but for younger children to read.

I like this book because it was about lovely friendship. It interested me because was it was about a bike race. My favourite character is Riley because he tried his best and helped a friend. I suggest this book to beginners on bikes.

I liked when Riley got the winners badge at the party because he stopped to help someone who had hurt themselves

this book is interesting because riley the rat has won the sports day race and the school bully was so angry of losing he entered riley in the big bike race even though he knows riley cant ride a bike very well. his friends help him ride a bike but still ends up in last place but he won a medal because he helped someone in need.

It was a very inspiring book and has a great morale behind it. I have read the whole series and found them amazing. These books are great for children who have started reading independently.

The best bit was when they all partied on New Year's Eve after the bike race.
