The illustrations are beautiful in this story, and the story of a bike messenger is well told in poetic form. (

Messenger man rides his bike all day delivering packages. He has to make sure he is on time everywhere he goes so he eats, drinks, and talks on his radio while riding his bike. He has a very busy job.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689821034, Hardcover)

Messenger, messenger,
keepin' the groove,
Always, always, on the move.

Morning's come around again, and Calvin Curbhopper, the messenger man, is on the go, zipping around from spot to spot, taking shortcuts through parking lots, steering through the midday blare of honking horns, his breath like a smokestack in the frosty air. Wind, snow, rain, sun, can't keep Calvin from making his run. And Robert Burleigh's rhythmic language keeps the groove right alongside him, further enlivened by Barry Root's energetic illustrations.
