Patricia TohtAll Aboard the London Bus

Adorable book about the cultural highlights of London. I gave to my granddaughter who is making a school presentation about the subject

This was the perfect book to read to my six-year-old granddaughter as we prepare for our trip to London this summer! The poetry is well-written and the facts well-researched. From rhyming couplets, to haiku, to a river poem that meanders through London in the Thames, adults as well as children are entertained and informed. We loved the count-down poem in Trafalgar Square and the frustration expressed in the changing of the guards poem as a child struggles to see the guards through the crowd. The lively, detailed pictures, like the street scene and running children in the poem Rain, kept my granddaughter's interest high. As a children's book writer, I appreciate the work that went into this gem of a book.

Very cute illustrations and really matches all the monuments in London. Only complaint is that if you want a short bedtime story for the little ones, this isn't it.

What a magical ride. The rhyming, lyrical nature of the book makes you want to climb on board and sing your way around London. A great introduction to London with useful tidbits for the classroom or car ride that will lure many readers to want to climb aboard for a real trip. Even if I never get to London I will feel as if I've experienced the sites and sounds of the city.

Very cute book of poetry. Many favorite tourist spots are mentioned, and each one has a different style of poem. My 4yo loved reading through these poems while we visited London. It turned into her personal London bucket list. Now that we’re back from our trip, we can still read the book together and help her remember the fun things we saw.

This was a great book for my 4 year old daughter. She learned a lot about London before our trip there. She quickly identified Big Ben and the tower bridge just from reading the book. It got her excited for the trip and made it a little more fun for her.

This is a fantastic book to introduce children to the wonders of London! It also brought me back to the sights and sounds of the city, which I have visited in years' past. This is a book that will surely ignite the imagination and 'travel itch' in children and adults alike!

My 3yo absolutely adores this book. We had read it over & over for days & his fascination with the details is remarkable.The drawings are nice watercolors, very attractive for a little and an old lad.Highly recommended
