"The wheels on the bus go round and round..." Yes, but what's on the bus? Lots of adorable animals! And they're not staying quiet. The lion roars; the monkeys chatter. The hyenas think the whole scene is ridiculous and are laughing hysterically. Watch out for the crocodile, whose jaws go snap, snap, snap! this raucous rendition of a favorite song will have everyone roaring, chattering, and chomping before the animals reach their stop.
"Readers will enjoy the journey Cabrera illustrates with her easily recognizable style—bright hues outlined in black, with a finger-paint–like texture. Sure to be a lively addition to storytimes and one of those titles that are begged to be read aloud again and again."—Kirkus Reviews
 
"The exuberant oil illustrations are beautifully bright and lush, done in tropical colors that provide a vivid backdrop for the bus and its passengers. Although several books are based on the song, this one should be a surefire winner, and it will certainly enliven storytimes. Not to be missed."—School Library Journal
 
"With its large, clearly defined pictures of animals and its knack for encouraging audience participation, this cheerful picture book will be fun to share with young children in libraries and classrooms."—Booklist
Jane Cabrera is known for her exuberant creations. Booklist called her Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush a "fun read-aloud" and an "adorable offering," while School Library Journal raved that The Wheels on the Bus is "not to be missed." She lives in England.
