Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
"The seals on the bus go / errp, errp, errp, / All around the town." The animals have taken over a favorite preschool song in this wild bus ride. The mayhem rises as a different animal boards at each stop--geese, monkeys, rabbits, and a scowling though hardly fearsome tiger driver. The match-up of text and art is completely successful, with the silly but symmetrical variant of the song playing it straight to Karas's haywire illustrations. Don't miss the ride.
