A silly spin on the old children's song allows for lots of fun making animal sounds all around the town.
I first read this book to my daughter when she was one, and it's current condition tells me we came back to it many, many times thereafter.

This book is a cute story for students to learn about animals and their sounds. It is a nice book to sing along. It helps students learn more about the animals around them.
A take on the classic "Wheels on the Bus" song except in this case all the things on the bus are animals. Each verse adds a new animal to the bus, and just as with seals, they often cleverly rhyme with the words from the song. The expressions on the parent's and children's faces are priceless as each new animal climbs aboard.

Cute children's story about all kinds of animals and how their sounds and actions in the bus make them go all around the town.
Children will like learning what sounds the animals make.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Fantastic Sing Along book! My first graders started singing as I began to read (sing) the first page!
I like reading this but usually have to clip some of the pages because it is a bit too long for the kids I read to. Plus it is difficult to make some of the noises.
This is a really good book for the children to laugh have fun and sing. It goes through many different animals to the tune of the wheels on the bus go round and round.
