This curious metal wind-up rendition of a duck riding on a tricycle has a small silver label on the back. "For collectors, not for children" is the message. A wind-up key on the side revs up the 8-inch tall duck to travel in circles pedaling his tricycle while his three-winged helicopter hat spins around. All painted metal with the exception of rubber tricycle wheels; there are many possibly sharp edges that could cut little fingers. With little or no educational value, Duck on Bike is a collector's item made in China for the wind-up toy collection of adults or at least mature, older children ages 12 and older. --Lair Showalter, mother and elementary school teacher
