Excellent pop-up book version of the song

2008-06-22
We first saw this book in a kindermusik class this previous winter, and my two-year-old son seemed to enjoy when it was read aloud. We decided to order the book to help our son get into the habit of bedtime stories. Now this is his number one favorite book to have read at bedtime. Our son loves being able to interact with the lyrics as we sing. The book is very durable and has held up well to a lot of abuse. I couldn't recommend this book more.

Engaging, beautiful, clever book

My grandchild has known the "wheels on the bus" song since she was a baby. Now 2 1/2 I bought her this book because of that and because I know Paul Zelinsky's work. She absolutely loves it. It is clever and interactive, colorful and wonderful and fun.

Wonderful book for children

This is a most beautifully illustrated book. It turns a song that can become boring for adults after singing it 100 times into a beuatiful story about a dog chasing a bus, a lost kitten, crying babies, soothing mothers, and wheels that literally turn round and round. There are hidden stories within the story. A wonderful investment for a child's library.

Great book - love all the moving parts!

The Best!!!!!!

My 22 month old, loves this book. He actually is obsessed with it, demanding "BUS" several times a day. He laughs hysterically at the interactive driver saying 'move on back, move on back" and finds it exciting to spin the wheels on the bus.

Every child has to have this book!

When The Wheels on the Bus, by Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky, broke onto the scene twelve years ago, it created a sensation with its clever characters, sly subplots, luscious colors, and the incomparable flair of its moving parts. Almost a million young readers have enjoyed the wheels that go round, doors that open and shut, and people who go bumpety-bump. Today it remains as fresh and engaging as when it was first published.

Terrific and fun to read

This book is a terrific and elaborate pop-up type book with the words to the Wheels on the Bus song. The lyrics are a little different than we used to sing ("all day long" instead of "all through the town"; driver says "move along please" instead of "move on back"), but each page has great flaps and tabs. My son got the book as a gift at age 18 mos, and has loved it ever since. It is a good one to read to/with children because you can sing the song and also move all of the parts. We love it.

Get This Book!!!!!

We received this as a gift from a dear friend and my children enjoy it so much that I now often give this book as a gift. It is fantastic. Zelinsky really knows how to put together a fun and gorgeous "active" book (for each verse the book has flaps, etc. that move with the verse). Another really awesome Zelinsky selection is Knick Knack Paddywhack.

A book that both of my girls like...

Their eyes light up every time they see this book.
Every time we are traveling, this is the book that
goes with us to motels/hotels. They love it all the
time.

This is a terrific book. My two year old grandson can not get enough. It is by far his favorite book. He loves moving the different parts that help to tell the story.
