Critique of Genre: This is a good example of a fantasy because it has animals that can talk, which could never happen in this world. Most of it could occur in a world similar to earth, such as the characters' struggles, but the animals talking is a very unrealistic element.
Critique of Plot: The plot of the book is developed and contains the important elements of plot. It advances and the conflict occurs when Francine lies about where her bike disappeared to, and how the lie continues to grow. Like a good story, the conflict gets resoluted when she finally tells her father the truth and they are able to find the old bike and paint a new one.
