Description
'You will laugh out loud' - Guardian
_______________
Now celebrating 10 years of sensational silliness, this timeless bestseller is full of crazy, clever and chaotic fun. Follow an ensemble of animals as they attempt to ride all sorts of thoroughly unsuitable vehicles in this hilarious, one-of-a-kind rhyming text.
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 picture 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!

Reviews

You will laugh out loud
Guardian
-
'… delightfully brought to life with David Tazzyman's quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes'
Publishers Association
-
The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour
Practical Pre-School
-
Everything that you could wish for in a picture book, humour, ridiculous situations and imagination stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture book writing and illustration at its very best
Being a Mummy
-
David Tazzyman's scratchy style is a great match to this scatty surprising picture book'
Books for Keeps
-
Chaotic, crazy, fabulously funny and full of humorously energetic illustrations, this is a book that promises to evoke giggles of glee from readers fortunate enough to come across it
