This picture book version of the much-loved song 'The Wheels on the Bus' features a cheerful yellow bus. The format is suitable for preschoolers and reception children, with speech bubbles and environmental print to add to the reading opportunities. A second typeface is used to mark the new activity on each page and the busy passengers are of mixed ages and races.
In his picture book, Incey Wincey Spider, sporting green bowler and matching brolly, climbs up his spout, mirrored by adults and children (of mixed ethnic origin again) demonstrating the actions that accompany the rhyme clearly. Of most use to children beginning to make the connection between spoken and written word - these titles are a jolly addition to nursery or playgroup shelf.
