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!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 year old loves this book!, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wheels on the Bus (Raffi Songs to Read) (Paperback)

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

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book with many things to talk about, July 20, 2006

By	fish - See all my reviews

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.
