Book Reviews of The Seals on the Bus
Book Review: Much more fun to sing than the "Wheels on the Bus"
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it, as parents we are forced to sing some of those all-time favorites like "Wheels on the Bus" far too many times. So when I first saw this book, my gut instinct was "Oh no! Not that song again!"
But somehow singing about seals on a bus -- and busload of other critters -- is just more fun than those tired lyrics about wheels and wipers. And the illustrations will have you laughing out loud right along with your child.
Cute idea ... great pictures... and an overall fun read!
Summary of The Seals on the Bus
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!? Now in big-book format, this hilarious version of the beloved children?s song ?The Wheels on the Bus?will have young readers errping and roaring and honking along.
A jaunty spin on the song "The Wheels on the Bus," this delightfully silly sing-along, read-aloud picture book is sure to amuse youngsters and animal aficionados alike. Seals, of course, do not go round and round like their predecessors the wheels. They go "errp errp errp." The tiger on the bus goes "roar roar roar," and the geese go "honk honk honk." When the many rabbits on the bus go "up and down," complete mayhem erupts, as, by this time, the bus is filled with seals, rabbits, geese, and a tiger. What? Room for a monkey and vipers, too? Sheep, and even skunks? In the end, the people on the bus--crowded by the motley menagerie--go "help help help!" G. Brian Karas, illustrator of more than 50 children's books (Cinder-Elly, Good Knight), infuses winsome charm into his simple compositions, peppered with cut-up newspaper bits and salted with hilarity. A read-aloud must-have! (Baby to preschool) -- Karin Snelson
