The Monsters on the Bus (Sesame Street) (Little Golden Book)

I have a 1.5 year old so still prefer the sturdiness of a board book. But the board book version leaves out the ending of the book. I’ve included a photo of the back of the board book vs. the last page of the Golden Books version. The story itself is adorable, especially for a kiddo who loves both the wheels on the bus song and Sesame Street characters. But the story is so much better with the last page included. Very bummed!

This book is great if your child love Sesame Street and the song wheels on the bus. My toddler loved the different version of wheels of the bus.

Wonderful book for my wife who’s a huge Grover fan.

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.

Birthday gift for 4 yr. old

This is literally “the wheels on the bus” song with some additions- like frogs, cows, martians. I don’t love reading it over and over but my toddler thinks it’s fun. Cute illustrations.

My two year old adores this book. It's lots of silly fun. I do wish Elmo was actually on the bus instead of just on the cover.

This is a very version of "Wheels on the Bus" Sesame Street style! It has some of the classic "Wheels on the Bus" verses like "The baby on the bus cries" and "The wipers on the bus go". And some unique to Sesame Street verses like "The monster on the bus says" and "The band on the bus plays". I love how it brings out different characters and aspects of Sesame Street. I love how it combines the original plus some unique verses to Sesame Street. My toddler loves to sing along the verses she already knows, and learning the new ones! We are huge Sesame Street fans and book collectors, and this is a new treasure in our home! It is absolutely worth the purchase!
