Summary: This short story in rhyme about a day in the life of a bike messenger in NYC, has pictures and text that will help readers look at the idea of work and work ethics. Calvin Curbhopper likes his job. From the picture clues it is obvious that he gains self-esteem from his work. Like the postal service motto: rain nor sleet does not stop the messenger from his duties.
