The words in this version of the book are slightly different than what we usually sing but my daughter loves it anyway. For example, we sing "all through the town" and this book says "all day long" and our driver says "move on back" while the book's driver says "tickets please". Not a problem, it's just different. The pictures are hilarious and the holes are awesome! They integrate into each page so well. Plus my daughter gets a kick out of the last page where everyone on the bus goes to a party. Definitely a great purchase!
My 18 month daughter never tires of this one - she'll dig it out from amongst all the others on the shelf. There's a lot going on in each page for her to point out, with the continuity of the bus and the people that gradually fill it. It turns out the bus is going to a birthday party, and in the final page you can look for all the characters at the party, and try and spot the birthday girl. I'm looking for more books from this illustrator, because this one has been such a hit.
This book is just ok, it's sturdy and has great pictures but I get really hung up on the words. They aren't all the traditional ones I expected, the verses are "wheels on the bus go round and round, horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, wipers on the bus go swish swish swish (all fine and good) and then we get driver on the bus says tickets please (I just say move on back instead since my boys can't read yet to know the difference) then parents on the bus say chat chat chat, babies on the bus say wah wah wah, and people on the bus say shh shh shh. They aren't big differences so it's still 4 stars but I find it greatly annoying and I would have chosen a different version if I had realized it before purchase. Someone unfamiliar with the song would probably enjoy it (like a non musical first time parent who has forgotten all the words since childhood). Also, it says something other than "all through the town" after each verse. I can't remember exactly what though. My almost two year old loves to look at the pictures while I sing the traditional song but my four year old is catching on and keeps asking me to show him the daddies on the bus going read read read in the picture...
I was first introduced to this book after checking it out from my local library. It immediately became a favorite book for my then 15 month old son, so much so that I reached my renewal limit with it and had to regretfully return it to the library. With Christmas coming up, I knew what would be going under the tree for my son. The look on his face when he unwrapped it was priceless. It was like he was seeing an old friend. We read, well actually sing, this book at least a few times every day. My son loves the singing, and I love that there is so much to be seen and discussed on each page. This book has bright, vibrant colors, is very sturdy (though heavy for a little one), and is endlessly entertaining. I highly recommend this book for anyone with young children, i.e. grandparents, parents, daycare, doctor's offices, etc. It is truly a classic!
My daughter loves the Wheels on the Bus song. The words in the book are slightly different than the original song, but that's ok. It's nice to change things up sometimes. Each page has adorable pictures that go along with the theme, and there are cut-outs on each page that highlight different aspects of the story and theme. I recommend you sing this to your child while reading it to them and point out the different details in the pictures. The overall story focuses on a bus headed to a birthday party and its various passengers, including those trying to catch the bus with their different party supplies, such as balloons, cakes, etc.
Toddler sings the song on his own without the book. We never sang it with "tickets, please", but he does now. The wheels are cut out with the tire getting smaller as the pages go, but a child can trace his/her finger around it as the wheels go round. I also do not remember having a party at the end of the song.
My 1 year old loves this book. She must have made us read 100 times at least in the past week alone. The small images on each page - dog, cat, rabbit, kind of make the child happy. Then there are various sections in book where you touch and feel the cuts, shapes. Worth buying..
Love this book!! Years ago bought it for my kids when they were toddlers, and we got so much enjoyment out of singing around the house and in the car. Recently bought again as a gift for my neighbor's toddler son.
