Watch out! Move out of the way! Hold onto your tails! Now in board book edition, there are BUNNIES ON THE BUS! And they aren't stopping for ANYONE!
The bunnies have taken over the bus and they're on a wild ride across the streets of Sunny Town! They whizz past the bus stop, swerve around corners and zoom over crossings on a non-stop roller coaster adventure! There are bunnies on the roof! Bunnies in the aisle! DO sit down, bunnies, or youll end up in a pile! Eventually, they come to a stop ... at the train station. And what's that they've spotted A TRAIN! Uh-oh, here we go again A hilarious romp of a book, with a fantastic read-aloud rhyming text and spectacular illustrations.
The relentless anarchy and fruity rhyming scheme makes for a thrilling ride for younger children and their tongue-twisted parents. To be chanted at high speed and followed by a little lie-down. * The Times, Childrens Book of the Week *
Bunnies On The Bus is fast-paced, furious and easy to remember, so even the youngest will quickly join in. The bright and (very) lively illustrations add to the hilarity and bring in some intriguing sub-plots. Delightful, hysterical and SO MUCH FUN! * Fallen Star Stories Blog *
