The Seals on the Bus

By Lenny Hort

Book Overview

This hilarious new version of the beloved children's song The Wheels on the Bus will have young readers errping and roaring and honking along.

The seals on the bus go errp, errp, errp
All through the town.

Two children and their parents board a city bus on their way to a party. At the next stop, who should get on but a group of seals, who holler errp, errp, errp at the top of their lungs. Each time the bus stops a new kind of animal joins the passengers and adds to the din, to the children's delight and the parents' annoyance. But when several hissing skunks want to come aboard, even the children cry help! help! help!

What a blast!!!

This is such a funny little book. My 3 year old loves to sing along while I read this book to him. It makes me laugh every time I read it to him. It's high quality for a paper back. Fantastic addition to my collection.

The perfect first book

I started reading to my son Owen when he was just a few months old, and this charming book was one of the first ones he reacted to. Now at 19 months, it's still his favorite. Colorful pictures, repetitive text, and the opportunity to use puppet-style hand gestures while you read make this a great interactive story for very young children. This book has earned its place, at least on our bookshelf, alongside classics like Bill Martin/Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear..."

Great Prek book

This book is a throw off of the popular wheel on the bus song for young children. the words have been changed in that instead of a lot of humans you have various circus and land animals acting in crazy outlandish funny ways . Great gift idea!!!

Old favorite with new fun

This book brings new fun to the kid-pleasing song, The Wheels on the Bus. In this version various animals board the bus with increasing chaotic results. Until, in the end, the people on the bus are crying, "help, help, help." The pictures are delightful. This is a great book to share - especially with children who already know and love the original song.

A fun take on an old song

Watch out, this book is addictive. My 14 month old daughter insists that we read it when ever she sees the book. The book provides a fun take off on the traditional song. The illustrations are also amusing. Just be ready to sing the song over and over and....
