The Wheels on the Bus
Illustrated by Annie Kubler
Published by Child’s Play International, Ltd.
Age Range: Board book version: 6-24 months, paperback version: 2-5 years
This is one book in a 20-book series called “Classic Books with Holes,” published by Child’s Play. There are board book versions which are perfect for the younger set (6-24 months) and paperback versions for those a bit older (2-5 years). These tried and true rhymes are as much fun to read as they are to listen to. What makes these versions special is that each page contains innovative die-cutting; children will have fun looking through the “holes” and predicting “what comes next.” We have provided books from this series for well child visits as part of the ROR-KC program as well. Of course, parent and child alike may end up singing through the pages, and this version of a classic has an added twist: each person getting on the bus is going to the same place. Can you guess where it is?
Bonus: Here’s a cute video of a mother and daughter singing/reading the board book version of this fun book.
