Pretty good for a 20 month old! It's fun to sing, nicely drawn and there are many fun hand motions in it. Beautiful 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.

My daughter calls this book "Vroom vroom!" It is by far her favorite. She liked the song before she ever saw the book and the illustrations in this version fascinate her -- so many things to point to and discuss! Just today, she propped up this book so her dolls could read it, too.

I was not bothered by the baby getting a bottle at all. I breastfed my daughter, but she often got a bottle of pumped milk, especially when we were out and about.

The illustrations are my favorite part of this book. With a whimsical, European feel, it is nice to see community depicted in this way!

This is the second copy I'm buying as the 1st one was read until it fell apart! My 14 month old LOVES this book.

This is a cute little book. The pictures are darling - such detail! My 17 mth. old son loves this song, and the book provides charming visuals to go along with the words. Previous reviewers have commented on the picture of the baby being bottle fed. Little children are completely unaware of the breast vs. bottle debate and just enjoy the song and pictures. Don't worry so much about small things!

Our 21 month old LOVES this book. We have to take it everywhere. He can't get enough of it. He "moves 'em on back", "beeps the horn", "shh, shh, shh" all over the house. A must have!

My 18-month-old grandson enjoys this song (and "bus" was one of his first words). He isn't real excited about the book yet, but I think he will enjoy it later when he can sing it himself. My only problem with the book is that two of the pages were upside down. But because it's a board book, I was able to separate the pages with my nailfile and paste them back in right side up with library glue (one of the perks of being a librarian).

I am glad to have this book because I always forget the order in which the verses go. I have sung this song since I was a little girl, you would think I would remember, but..... This book is so fun because you just have to sing it, I can't seem to just read it. Also, my daughter loves when we do the movements. She laughs and joins in the fun. This is a classic.
