About This Book:
Set to the tune of “The Wheels on the Bus,” this sweet and funny board book shows how mommies keep their kids entertained on the bus!
While a child might only think of how a bus’s wheels go round and round, round and round, round and round, mommies know to be prepared with “snacks, snacks, snacks.” And she’ll have to remind her child “here’s our stop, here’s our stop, here’s our stop!”

The Mommies on the bus say “Turn the page”!
While “Mommies on the bus say ‘Stop that now'” has a better rhythm than some of the lines used, this book is a more positive look at parent child interactions. There are a huge number of picture book variations on this song, including Albee and Ewers The Monsters on the Bus (Sesame Street), Mills and Mantle’s The Spooky Wheels on the Bus, Charman and Sharratt’s The Whales on the Bus, Hort and Karas’ The Seals on the Bus, Sindelar’s The Cows on the Bus, Mantle and Ardagh’s The Bunnies on the Bus, and even a Deans’ Pete the Cat version, but this short, sturdy book is perfect for putting in a bag and taking along on a bus ride, as long as it’s keep away from the bananas and bottles!
