You can't take an elephant on the bus by Patricia Cleveland-Peck

This board book edition of the bestselling title will delight young listeners with its rollicking rhyme and humourous illustrations. The ludicrous pictures of animals taking inappropriate forms of transportation (monkeys in shopping trolleys, seals driving cars, whales riding bicycles) will have children laughing with incredulity and the lines of reasoning provide plenty of opportunity for animated 'what would happen?' type discussions. The solution that the animals come up with for their travel dilemma will also amuse children, who could also be encouraged to come up with their own mode of transport for the animals. David Tazzyman's scratchy and quirky illustrations are a perfect match for these chaotic and crazy hypotheticals.

This is a perfect read aloud for children of all ages and this board book edition makes it just right for little hands to explore independently or with an adult. A timeless tale that is sure to become a classic.

Themes: Board Book, Rhyming Story, Humourous Story.
