The wheels on the bus

Illustrations: Lara Ede.

Make Believe Ideas, 2011

 

This board book edition is good for babies and toddlers as it encourages them to touch and feel the different texture that accompanies the illustrations. The rhyme is close to the traditional “The wheels on the bus” song with some different verses. The colours used in the illustrations are bright and simple. The format is good for children to handle and grab easy, the board pages are well reinforced, it contains pages with textures for babies to explore, overall the design is good. It also has good reviews by the school library journal.

The verses different to the traditional ones go like this: “The teddy bears in the bus go munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, the teddy bears in the bus go munch, munch, munch, all day long”
