Elephants driving diggers Gorillas on scooters A shark in the bath A kangaroo . . . on the loo Join in with the fun as an array of improbable creatures try to be helpful (with hilarious consequences) in this laugh-out-loud picture book. The brilliant follow-up to the bestselling You Cant Take an Elephant on the Bus. Don't let an elephant drive a digger . . . Diggers are big but elephants bigger. No, if you want to move earth or dig holes, best not let an elephant near the controls.
Praise for You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus: delightfully brought to life with David Tazzymans quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes * Publishers Association *
The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour * Practical Pre-School *
Everything that you could wish for in a picture book, humour, ridiculous situations and imagination stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture book writing and illustration at its very best * Being a Mummy *
David Tazzymans scratchy style is a great match to this scatty surprising picture book * Books for Keeps *
Chaotic, crazy, fabulously funny and full of humorously energetic illustrations, this is a book that promises to evoke giggles of glee from readers fortunate enough to come across it * Eye, Eye *
