Bouncy illustrations, innovative die cutting and popular rhymes make Books with Holes a must for every child. Available in three formats, suitable for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and the nursery or classroom. Review: Great book - Love the book and the colors. Also like that is hard cover it last more since regular paper kids tend to rip it off. But if it’s hard cover definitely do buy it. Great for kids to see all the colors and they get to sing along. Review: Great rendition of the song - This is a cute little version of the Wheels on the Bus song where a party bus is going around town and picking up people to go to a little girl's birthday party. The lyrics are fairly accurate to the classic of my own childhood and the images are very cute. The gimmick seems to be the "books with holes" design, where portions of each image carry through to the next page, which is pretty ingenious. Overall, this is a great little book and I can't seem to adequately hide it from my daughter. I've read this book probably 1000 times since I've purchased it.

Adorable and highly recommended!
My daughter loves the Wheels on the Bus song. The words in the book are slightly different than the original song, but that's ok. It's nice to change things up sometimes. Each page has adorable pictures that go along with the theme, and there are cut-outs on each page that highlight different aspects of the story and theme. I recommend you sing this to your child while reading it to them and point out the different details in the pictures. The overall story focuses on a bus headed to a birthday party and its various passengers, including those trying to catch the bus with their different party supplies, such as balloons, cakes, etc.

Good for non-musical first time parents
This book is just ok, it's sturdy and has great pictures but I get really hung up on the words. They aren't all the traditional ones I expected, the verses are "wheels on the bus go round and round, horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, wipers on the bus go swish swish swish (all fine and good) and then we get driver on the bus says tickets please (I just say move on back instead since my boys can't read yet to know the difference) then parents on the bus say chat chat chat, babies on the bus say wah wah wah, and people on the bus say shh shh shh. They aren't big differences so it's still 4 stars but I find it greatly annoying and I would have chosen a different version if I had realized it before purchase. Someone unfamiliar with the song would probably enjoy it (like a non musical first time parent who has forgotten all the words since childhood). Also, it says something other than "all through the town" after each verse. I can't remember exactly what though. My almost two year old loves to look at the pictures while I sing the traditional song but my four year old is catching on and keeps asking me to show him the daddies on the bus going read read read in the picture...

I really like the graphics on these book, the are colorful, whimsical and easy on the eyes.
I love this book, I read it to my granddaughter when she was a baby and with every motion mentioned in the book I did along with the book. Ex: wheel goes round and round I put my finger on the wheel and went around in a circle, wipers swish - put my finger on the wiper did swish swish swish. Great book. I buy it for all my baby showers I attend.

20 month old daughter loves this book
The words in this version of the book are slightly different than what we usually sing but my daughter loves it anyway. For example, we sing "all through the town" and this book says "all day long" and our driver says "move on back" while the book's driver says "tickets please". Not a problem, it's just different. The pictures are hilarious and the holes are awesome! They integrate into each page so well. Plus my daughter gets a kick out of the last page where everyone on the bus goes to a party. Definitely a great purchase!

My daughter loves to study all the details in the drawings!
I don't usually post comments on things, but I had to return to comment on this book which my 2 y.o. daughter LOVES! What I love most about it is the bright colorful drawings with so much detail. Something different is happening on each page and new characters are introduced. My daughter spends more focused time looking at the pictures in this book than any other book. It helps too that Wheels on the Bus is one of her favorite songs. And yes, we sing different versions than what's written, but she can read it anyway! Plus, we've added so many more verses for some of the animals and people boarding the bus (the bunny goes hop-hop-hop, the cat goes meow... and even the drum on the bus goes boom, boom, boom!) Then since the book ends with a birthday party (another favorite song of hers) we sing even more! And again, so many little things going on in the scene that we talk about all those too. I highly recommend it!

A fantastic book!
The book is great! First, it is a story that children like very much and they enjoy singing the song as they take a look at the pages. Then the book has wonderful pictures! They are very colourful and attracting to children. Finally the holes are great since children can remember what happened at the previous page an so on. I REALLY LOVE IT!

good value
Nice and sturdy book. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you how to capture an eighteen month old grandsons attention for more than 30 seconds. Still working on that!

Diversos usos
O livro sendo grande atrai bastante as crianças e como está cheio de personagens e animais a atração é ainda maior. Associado a isso você pode cantar o que está escrito nas páginas tanto em inglês quanto em português, podendo ensinar as duas línguas para as crianças, já que se trata daquela música "As rodas do ônibus giram".
