The latest cutie patootie animal that’s getting the That’s Not My … treatment is, um, not an animal. Sure, I’ve read about our white mouse’s preferences regarding planes, trains and automobiles cars before but I prefer it when mousie’s rejects are cute and cuddly.
Having found so many of their animals already, mousie probably needs more options for transporting them. So, buses … Before finding their specific bus, mousie rejects those that are either too smooth, shiny, rough, squashy or bumpy. I guess, under the universal law of finders keepers, that means I’m now the proud owner of five buses. This will be super handy for transporting mousie’s rejected animals I’ve previously claimed.
I found this one a bit boring, especially since the buses were all the same colour. I’m sure the target audience will love this addition to the series though, particularly if it comes with a rendition of The Wheels on the Bus.
I’m rounding up from 3.5 stars.

One of my favourite "that's not my..." books to date.
I've been reading books from this series to my son since he was born. He is one now and loves buses. He loved every page of this book and made me read it to him at least 12 times today... And we only bought the book today! A hit!

Another book in the "That's not my..." series. There's different textures for baby to explore and my one year old loved touching the pages. Overall, I found this to be another solid book in the series but it's not one of my favourites.
3 stars.
3 stars.

Revolutionary. Has many textures we haven’t came across yet ! R nearly lost her head at the first two pages. Also big enough sections that she can comfortably get to the touchy bits on her own without having to try and guide an uncooperative hand to 2mm of space on the book

This series is a bit samey, but the boy likes it. Fun textures on each page, easy bold pictures, not overlong.
