The Boy on the Bus: A Sing-Along Storybook [Hardcover]

Penny Dale (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

WHO WANTS TO RIDE ON THE BUS?

The boy on this bus drives round and round -- but his passengers aren’t quite what you’d expect! Hop on board as a very merry group oinks, quacks, and clucks its way through the countryside in a brand-new version of a classic children’s song.

A comically crowded bus carries a furry, feathered cast of characters in a familiar sing-along with a funny farmyard twist.

From Booklist

Dale transforms the familiar song "The Wheels on the Bus" into delightful wish fulfillment. A small boy drives a bus through an idyllic, spring countryside, picking up farmyard creatures until the vehicle is overflowing. Thin washes of vivid color show mostly realistically depicted animals and a jolly, confident, small driver. The words are altered just enough to make the verses seem new, while the original song's meter is maintained, ensuring that the new lines can be easily sung to the familiar tune. Teachers, librarians, and parents will all enjoy sharing this oversize picture book, which cries out for audience participation. Carton, Debbie

This review is from: The Boy on the Bus: A Sing-Along Storybook (Hardcover)

This book is a cute rendition of the classic 'The Wheels on the Bus.' Using different farm animals with the noises they make added to the repetitive wording makes this a fun and easy read for beginners.
