Watching from the windows of their zebra-striped all-terrain bus a group of happy children arrives at the wildlife park. Theyre joining in the catchy refrain that the wheels on the bus go round & round encouraging readers to do exactly the same! As the bus drives the children all around the park its the animals who take centre-stage allowing this much-loved rhyme to enter new territory steered by Jan Ormerods fresh & lively interpretation of the song. So with the established rhythm of the song put in motion by the bus children can join in as the antelopes spring so high in the air the otters in the pool float paw in paw & the llamas in the field go trot trot trot. & of course there are actions inspired by the animals antics too. Lindsey Gardiner has created colourful collage illustrations bursting with expressive & energetic animals that children just wont be able to resist wanting to copy as they leap splash & roll over the pages! So its a book for more than reading: its a book for climbing aboard singing along to & joining in with.. .all.. .day.. .long!
