The Mommies on the Bus
by Hannah Eliot (Author) Airin O'Callaghan (Illustrator)
Set to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus," this sweet and funny board book shows how mommies keep their kids entertained on the bus!
While a child might only think of how a bus's wheels go round and round, round and round, round and round, mommies know to be prepared with "snacks, snacks, snacks." And she'll have to remind her child "here's our stop, here's our stop, here's our stop!"

PreS-Gr 1--Fans of public transportation and singing will be pleased with this board book. The text puts a new spin on the popular nursery rhyme "The Wheels on the Bus," this time centering the familiar routines of mothers and children on a city bus. "The mommies on the bus go hold my hand, hold my hand, hold my hand." O'Callaghan's drawings show many characters of varying skin tones and cultures, including a motherly woman in a hijab. This diversity of passengers reflects a realistic cross-section of travelers on any bus in metropolitan America today. VERDICT For a bouncy twist on an old classic, this bus book is just the ticket.--Nora Clancy
