My 18 month daughter never tires of this one - she'll dig it out from amongst all the others on the shelf. There's a lot going on in each page for her to point out, with the continuity of the bus and the people that gradually fill it. It turns out the bus is going to a birthday party, and in the final page you can look for all the characters at the party, and try and spot the birthday girl. I'm looking for more books from this illustrator, because this one has been such a hit.

The words in this version of the book are slightly different than what we usually sing but my daughter loves it anyway. For example, we sing "all through the town" and this book says "all day long" and our driver says "move on back" while the book's driver says "tickets please". Not a problem, it's just different. The pictures are hilarious and the holes are awesome! They integrate into each page so well. Plus my daughter gets a kick out of the last page where everyone on the bus goes to a party. Definitely a great purchase!

I was first introduced to this book after checking it out from my local library. It immediately became a favorite book for my then 15 month old son, so much so that I reached my renewal limit with it and had to regretfully return it to the library. With Christmas coming up, I knew what would be going under the tree for my son. The look on his face when he unwrapped it was priceless. It was like he was seeing an old friend. We read, well actually sing, this book at least a few times every day. My son loves the singing, and I love that there is so much to be seen and discussed on each page. This book has bright, vibrant colors, is very sturdy (though heavy for a little one), and is endlessly entertaining. I highly recommend this book for anyone with young children, i.e. grandparents, parents, daycare, doctor's offices, etc. It is truly a classic!

a toddler favorite. sing/modify the "classic" song with the words from this book and you have a sure fire hit. My toddler takes it on car trips (everyone in the car has to sing!) Its fun to read it together and point out the next items that are appearing in the "holes"

I bought this book for my 16 month old grandson......he just loves it and when I ask him to bring me a book to read to him he most often pick this one out of all his book.

Great Choice.

My daughter aged 2, loves this book, she sings along and loves turning the pages and looks forward to the party at the end.

This book was a super choice for my 13 month old grand daughter. When she comes over, she goes for this book and she studies each page as I sing the words to her.

my husband just started driving a school bus and we bought this book to let the grandchildren know what pop pop did. they understood perfectly and now refer to the driver as pop pop.

Very nice illustrations. Every time my baby reads it she notices some new character and thats very exciting for her. Each page is packed with action.

I love this book. However, when it arrived it was 'classroom size',ie. a huge book. I was looking for a sandard size book. that information obviously was not clear to me at purchase time. however, i reordered it in the standard size and i already knew we liked the book because we had lost our old one.
