The London Noisy Bus

by Marion Billet (Illustrator)

It's time to visit London—what a noisy city! Watch out for the beeping double-decker buses. Mind the gap on the tube and hear Big Ben chime the hour. Find out who's roaring at the Natural History Museum and listen to the monkeys chitter chatter at London Zoo. Finish off the day with a royal visit to Buckingham remember to look out for the naughty crown jewel thief on every page! The London Noisy Book has six sounds to listen to, including a genuine Big Ben chime and "mind the gap" recording. Young children will love pressing the noises as they discover the sights in this hustling, bustling book about London.

It was fun to read with an audience and ask them to find various items, not just the one item each page asked about. You could easily read this book fast (tired and just need kiddos to go to bed after storytime) or take your sweet time exploring each page (want to spend more time with your kiddos and have fun together finding various things in the pages).

My first non-graded book! It was my first London Bus, I liked to read it and drive it.

Favourite book of my little boy. The wheels make the book very special, and he likes to drive the book around on the floor.

The content showcases London landmarks such as the London eye, St. Paul's cathedral, Buckingham Palace. There are also a lot of interesting details I can talk to my son about, like birds, post box, ice cream booth, etc.

Due to the heavy usage we have broken it but still we love it!

What is does, it does well but, like her other book about London, it is way too short.

This book is really simple for early readers, my son’s first non-graded book. Until this book he didn’t know he could read any book he wanted :)
