The babies on this bus sing la-la-la and bounce bumpity bump all through the town, instead of just crying. The traditional verses are interwoven with the babies' activities and end with the motor going zoom, zoom, zoom before the babies say bye-bye bus! Not all variations of Wheels on the Bus are quite so appealing -- this one will breathe new life into the song, which is always popular with children.Really bright bold colors make this a perfect choice for baby and toddler storytimes.

Karen Katz has long been one of my favorite authors for the baby/toddler set. The illustrations are bright and cheerful. The text includes some of the well-known verses to “The Wheels on the Bus”, but also has some new and original verses mixed in. Fun for a read-aloud/sing-along!
A simple variation on The Wheels on the Bus. Most of the words are the same, but some parts are changed to be all about babies. This is fitting since Katz's illustrates babies. It was silly that the bus driver was a baby and that they were going to school. Maybe it was that I didn't see it clearly and they were playing bus at school?
Slight variation of the wheels on the bus. I love Karen Katz's books for babies and toddlers. This one has a busload of babies but no parents? Seems like a lot for one bus driver to deal with. The pictures are charming, however.
I don't usually review books that would be shared during a story time for infants, but this one was cute and would be nice to share one-on-one with a baby as well because of the bright, colorful illustrations.
A cute, colorful variation on the old favorite song, "The Wheels on the Bus." Interspersed with the original verses, the author adds several fun new ones. Bright, bold colors in a fun book for ages 1-5.
This has been a favorite of my Cupcake (2.5 yr old) since we borrowed it from the library.
The pictures are engaging and adorable.
This would be a fabulous one to have in board book form (publisher?)

Really liked this Katz title...which appealed highly to my 2 year old. I would recommend this for toddlers-2s storytime especially. Brightly illustrated with catchy lyrics that are interactive and fun.
Another one of my favorite new titles of 2011 for storytimes - this one is good for baby storytime. Great Karen Katz illustrations with multi-ethnic babies bouncing and jouncing for a good time.
This is one of the "Wheels on the Bus" books in my classroom at the daycare. I love the pictures and the way the story flows. The children love this book and request it almost everyday.
Parents, babies and toddlers love this book. Its the classic wheels on the bus nursery rhyme with wonderful pictures to focus on while singing. Huge hit in toddler storytime.
A fun read-aloud version of The Wheels on the Bus. Karen Katz's bright illustrations are perfect for this raucous tale, but a bus driven by a baby is a little far-fetched.
Cute take on the song. My 2-year-old loves this book and we read it almost every night (though it's due back at the library soon. . .) Fun to read/sing with my 2-year-old.
Typical Karen Katz, with bright multicultural babies and a few nice variations on the rhyme I sing every week with the toddlers. May buy a second copy since this will be popular.
A good pick for baby story time, as Karen Katz's books usually are. It's always fun to have a book you can sing, and all the parents enjoyed joining in.
Fabulous. Loved by parents of babies and toddlers, enjoyed by all ages from babies on up. A classic song. Familiar, yet slightly re-themed for babies.
not a board book yet I don't think the traditonal ryhme with few new twists (babies on the bus bounce bumpity bump...)
would be cute for toddler time

kids love this book. it's loads of fun. you're going to use it over and over again. it's a keeper. :)
Karen Katz's signature illustrations, text that follows the classic tune, what's not to like about this book?
For toddlers, learning the Wheels on the Bus, this is the perfect companion. Love Karen Katz for this age.
Loved it! The book is a little long, but the parents and babies at baby storytime enjoyed it!
Very cute rewrite of Wheels on the Bus that would be super for a baby or toddler storytime.
my toddler loves to sing along with this book and i really like the illustrations.
Another fun variation on these classic song. Love these babies, of course!
A cute rendition of the classic. Good one to try in babytime.
Super cute, one of Luke's favorites, and the girls like it too.

Karen Katz has written and illustrated many books for children, including The Colors of Us, Can You Say Peace, My First Ramadan, Counting Kisses and Where is Baby's Belly Button. Long inspired by folk art from around the world, she was inspired to write her first book, Over the Moon, when she and her husband adopted their daughter from Guatemala, and she wanted to tell the story of welcoming Lena...more
