Makes kids laugh
This book is about more than just the elephant taking a ride on a bus, lots of zoo animals are included and each has its own two pages with a four line rhyme. Preschool age kids will love all these animals, but I think the snazzy illustrations stop it looking to babyish so the book will appeal to younger primary school kids too. My kids laugh at the animals expressions. We have this for a long time now. My kids are currently four and six and they ask for it fairly regularly, I also think this is the kind of book that will grow with us.

Nicely absurd kids book
I bought this thinking it was a serious advisory manual about transporting large animals. Despite there being some very sound advice contained within, it gradually became obvious that this is actually a kids book and I have to say that on that level it works very well. The kids enjoy the absurdity of the set-ups and most of the rhymes are OK. The artwork is engaging and it has a quality product feel to it. I'd say it is in the top quartile for books read to both son and daughter.

Hilarious and much loved book
My 2 year old loved the rhythm of this book with the poetry throughout and would sing along with it whilst I read. Each page brought giggles and such excitement. Now if you ask her whether an elephant can go on a bus she will laugh with glee... NOOOOOO mummy! What I love about this book is that it uses some complex language so is suited for little ones (we read it to our nine month old) and it would be suitable for older children too. These words might be beyond some little ones understanding but it is great to have these included as it introduces some more words to them. The illustrations, documenting the mayhem all the animals that you encounter throughout the book cause when using the different methods of transportation, are brilliant. A great, funny book which captivates the reader.

I have given all the books an excellent rating despite the fact that I have not personally seen them. They were all sent as gifts to my daughter in France. She says that both girls love having books read to them at night and she is working through them. The favourite story was "You can;t take an elephant on the bus". All book arrived on time and in good condition. Thank you, Wendy Sellinger

Recommended book for pre-schoolers.
I saw this book recommended and ordered it for my grandson in USA (I am in UK) so I have not seen it myself. My 4-year-old grandson loves it.
