Book Reviews of Wheels on the Bus
Book Review: Wonderful book for baby and toddler!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been collecting children's books since my daughter was 6 months old, now she is 27 months. She loves books and has more than 100 books. This is one book which she has been reading and playing with for a long long time, and I have lost count how many times she has been asking us to repeat and repeat singing the book to her... Now my son, 9 months, who doesn't sit still long enough when I read other books to him, will only sit still for this book! The moveable parts have been very sturdy, even after played by my daughter many times, as she wants to pull and push the tabs herself... However, I still buy another copy to standby if this one wears off. I have been looking for similar kind of books ever since I bought this, but this is still the best so far... Highly recommended. I will give it a 5 stars+++ ! Try it, you will not regret.
Summary of Wheels on the Bus
Hold The Wheels on the Bus in your hands and you will see what has made it so endlessly popular with children. The wheels on the bus really do go round and round, the people do step out and in and the wipers do go swish swish swish. More than a book and better than a toy, this is a treat for young and old. And now with a sparkly, shimmery, eye-catching cover."The wheels on the bus go round and round.... All over town." This traditional song, a favorite of children everywhere, is adapted and illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky, winner of the Caldecott Medal for his lush version of Rapunzel, and Caldecott honors for Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, and Swamp Angel. Fantastic paper engineering with movable parts, flaps, and wheels that spin makes this an interactive book that young readers will love to pieces (maybe literally!). Pull one tab to make the "wipers on the bus go swish swish swish," and another to see the "babies on the bus cry Waah! Waah! Waah!" On closer inspection, children will be tickled to discover several subtle and humorous subplots, as well as a full-circle finale: the last stop on the bus is at the Overtown public library, where the day's program includes a folk singer. Guess what he's singing!
Zelinsky's warm, inviting illustrations are a perfect match for this classic play rhyme. Children who have learned the hand motions to the song will enjoy helping the characters in the book enact their own roles. The back cover includes the musical notation for "The Wheels on the Bus," so everyone can sing along. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
