You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus

(1 reviews)

Author: Patricia Cleveland-Peck Illustrator: David Tazzyman

Publisher: Bloomsbury

This delightful picture book explains why you can't take an elephant on the bus; or why a tiger should not travel by train; or how you should never let a bear near an ice cream van. But if you were an elephant, or a tiger, or a bear - how should you travel?

This wonderful picture book is filled with funny rhymes matched with irresistible illustrations. There are lots of everyday activities to spot - and these will prompt many giggles as you see the animals attempt to blend in. (A giraffe on an airplane sticks out like a sore thumb...) You won't be disappointed!
