5.0 out of 5 stars A great book with many things to talk about July 20, 2006
By fish
Format:Board book
I bought this when my daughter was 13 months, and after 7 months she still loves this book. There are different people in the bus - adults, kids, elderly, pets, etc., and many things happening on and off the bus.

When my daughter refuses to drink her milk, I'll turn to the page where the baby is happily drinking from the bottle, then she will take her cup and start drinking.

Try Raffi's CD as well. He sang the song to a cheerful tones with kids in the background - my daughter loves it.

The illustrations are good and if you're not familiar with the tune, it has the music printed on the back inside cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raffi in book form
My grandsons love Raffi. I only wish the book came in hardcover instead. They can't hear this story enough! They have the other Raffi books too & enjoy them a lot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read, decent pics
Its a pretty short read, and not sure its necessary when most people know the song and can sing it rather than read it from a book.

Great idea. Arrived in great shape. The book is smaller than I thought it would be. Also, the illustrations are so crowded that it didn't seem to follow the lyrics of the song... Read more

This has been one of my son's favorite books to have sung/read since he was 11 months old-- he frequently picks it off the shelf, and prefers to hear it sung three times in a row! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wheels on the Bus book.
If you are not familiar with Raffi and have young children, I highly recommend his DVDs, CDs, and books. Simple songs, easy to remember and easy for children to join in. Read more
