My daughter loves the "Wheels on the Bus" song, so when I found this Halloween version, she was thrilled. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and engaging. Even though there are monsters, witches, and ghosts in the book, they are drawn in a friendly way so as not to frighten a young child. She sings along with me as we read it and it holds her attention wonderfully. It definitely encourages active participation and also has a counting concept built into it for numbers 1-10. After we read it, I usually have my daughter help me count the cats, witches, monsters, etc. on each page to practice her counting skills or I'll ask her what colors certain objects are, so there's a lot of education value to the book as well as just being fun to sing along to.Some of the lyrics are : "One spooky bus goes rattle and shake, rattle and shake, rattle and shake. One spooky bus goes rattle and shake all through the town." "Three noisy cats go meow, hiss, hiss, meow, hiss, hiss, meow, hiss, hiss. Three noisy cats go meow, hiss, hiss, all through the town." "Ten goofy ghosts say, "Boo-oo-oo, Boo-oo-oo, Boo-oo-oo, Ten goofy ghosts say, "Boo-oo-oo all through the town."We enjoy the book so much that we bought another one for my daughter's preschool teacher to share with the class this Halloween. Very cute and interactive story/song!
My 2 years old daughter loves singing and these Spooky wheels on the bus are perfect. Based on the famous "Wheels on the bus" song, this book have you sing a funny Halloween version. The book encourages counting as well as develops Halloween-related vocabulary (ghosts, spiders, etc...). Very good concept with bright and funny illustrations. We like playing searching games too (where are the ghosts?, how many witches do you see? etc, ...). Very interactive and engaging. Highly recommended!
I gave this book to my 5 year old granddaughter along with several other gifts for her birthday. It was the only one that "hit the target." We read it together, then she and her Mom sang it. It is a great 3 generation family favorite and I have just ordered a 2nd for another granddaughter.
My 20-month-old is obsessed with this book. It's almost Christmas and she's been reading it since before Halloween. You can sing it to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus." She particularly likes it when the goofy ghosts go "boo-oo-oo." You never know what little kids are going to take to, but my kid certainly took to this! One nice thing about the paperback is that the pages are pretty thick. It has held up to some rough handling. You can also find videos on YouTube of other folks singing the words of the book. Very fun!
I have a newborn girl that is 2-weeks old that I am already investing heavily into Halloween books. While I know she can't read or understand it right now, this book will be a great October Halloween read later on!
The Spooky Wheels on the Bus is a fun retelling of the classic children's song The Wheels on the Bus with a Halloween twist and an added counting element. My students loved hearing this version and thought the pictures were very funny (although not scary at all).I would recommend this book to readers 2-6
We have had this book for about 2 weeks and I've read this book so many times that my 3 year old boys can "read" along with me. We sing it to the regular wheels on the bus tune and they love it. They actually know now if I miss a word or try to mix things up. It's always nice to be corrected by a three year old :sighs: We count different things on every page and can do something different every time we read it because they are a lot of fun things on each page to see. I will be reading this well after Halloween is over.
A play on the traditional Wheels on The Bus for a spooky but cute Halloween take!My 2, 4 and 6 year olds enjoyed learning the new words and have sung it in the car, at school, during play, at dinner... You get the idea! This sticks with them and they asked for it every night until it got tucked away for next fall.
