Synopsis

‘You will laugh out loud’ – Guardian
_______________
Get ready for a fun-filled ride and join a whole range of crazy creatures on a hilarious board book adventure!

You can’t take an
elephant on the bus
It would simply cause a terrible fuss!
Elephants’ bottoms are heavy and fat
and would certainly squash the seats
quite flat.
Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don’t even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike – This riotous board book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. With hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations, this is a real romp of a book perfect for reading aloud!
