Monsieur Albert rides to glory - Peter Smith

Monsieur Albert Larousse is a cycling fanatic
who lives in a tiny Parisian attic,
up six flights of stairs in apartment 6A,
a ten-minute ride from the Rue de la Paix.

He picks up the paper at breakfast one day,
and reads it while drinking his caf au lait.
'Grand Cycle Race - fabulous prize to be won!'
‘Magnifique!' exclaims Albert, and butters a bun.

The gently humourous rhyming text, teamed with Bob Graham's distinctive and endearing illustrations, make for a friendly and heart-warming picture book. How Monsieur Albert win the world's most exciting bike race will charm and thrill young and old.
