Kids always find it easier to read when they already hear the song in their head, so this one will be a surefire hit for threes and fours who desperately want to learn to read. Music score is included.

great book, and my daughter loves the "if you're bananas and you know it" variation. very fun addition to the home book collection!!

My sister is a principal and highly recommeded this book for my grandchildren. THey love to read and sing so what better gift than to have it all wrapped into one.

My youngest child's favorite book is a board book of The Wheels On The Bus by Raffi so I bought this book for her thinking she might enjoy it, too. She doesn't. This book has a completely different style of illustrations than in The Wheels On The Bus. It is a board book, so that's nice. But I don't like Raffi's modified song lyrics (i.e.: "If you're bananas and you know it") so I don't sing it as written in the book. It isn't as fun as TWOTB and the pictures aren't as pretty; there isn't as much to look at. In almost every way it's an inferior book to Raffi's TWOTB. If it wasn't a hassle to return it, I'd return this one.

My kids love this song so I thought I would buy the book. Sadly, the words are not the traditional words..."If you're beautiful and you know it..."

I sent this book back. I bought it for my 18 month old grandson, but the words were not even similar to the words he's used to hearing and singing from various other sources. It was a disapointment. I wasn't enthralled with the illustrations, either. I would have liked to have known that it differed so substantially from the familiar song.

Fun book with familiar song, but the pictures are not the best.
