The Monsters on the Bus (Sesame Street)

Description

The Wheels on the Bus, a perennial favorite of the toddler set, gets a uniquely Sesame Street spin in this very funny Little Golden Book. Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster board a bus and meet some wacky passengers, including a furball with a boombox, frogs, cows, a brass band, and a family of yipping Martians. The sound effects in the chorus reflect the voices and activities of the passengers in a way that will have little ones—and adults—laughing out loud as they join in the song. Review: She and I both enjoy this book - Wheels on the Bus is one of those classic songs that most kids know. After singing it with my daughter for the 75,834th time, we started making up our own lyrics. While I wanted to use more realistic lyrics that reflect my own experiences on public transport, we usually would add things that would make sense to someone about to begin kindergarten. Then I ordered this ebook because my daughter loves "Monster at the End of this Book." She is not a Sesame Street fan, but I figured she would still get a kick out of the book even if she did not recognize most of the characters. She and I both enjoy this book. SPOILER WARNING! READ PAST THIS POINT ONLY IF YOU WANT THE PLOT RUINED Each page contains some variation of Wheels on the Bus lyrics, including some of the usual verses (e.g., wipers, driver, etc.). However, we also have new ones such as the little alien muppets who make vweep sounds and other such hijinks. My favorite part of the book are the pictures. They chronicle the plight of the common man who just wants to make it to work. On the first page the man gets on the bus in the rain and just wants to read his newspaper in peace. We start with minor inconveniences like water dripping on his paper or Cookie Monster getting crumbs all over. Then you see the man's ride becoming more and more surreal as chaos ensues. The man eventually decides to just get off of the bus and take a cab. I can relate. My daughter loves the variation in the lyrics, and I like the spin on the story. It's good fun. Review: Perfetto per bambini di 4 anni - Il libro è breve, con frasi brevi, una storiella simpatica con immagini simpatiche. Il libro nel complesso è perfetto per approcciare le letture in inglese con bambini di 4 anni (aiutati da mamma e papà) che si avvicinano alla lingua inglese
