This is an unnecessary but not undiverting board book with pictures to go along with the wheels on the bus, which of course your baby knows by heart, allowing her to focus on connecting words and images and concepts. I guess? I just know we have fun singing it. And I like how British all the people look in it and trying to put my finger on exactly what makes them look British. And I don't know what value Raffi adds with his fuckin' mug on the cover. And I laugh every time I get to the end and see the sheet music and it says "The Wheels on the Bus (traditional)" (only the best of the many traditional bus ballads passed down to us from the bards of the north country).
This is a great sing-a-long book. It is appropriate for ages pre-K through first grade. I remember as a child, my friends and I would sing this song when we were at P.E.
