Description

_______________ 'You will laugh out loud' - Guardian _______________ Get ready for a fun-filled ride and join a whole range of crazy creatures on a hilarious board book adventure! You can't take an elephant on the bus ... It would simply cause a terrible fuss! Elephants' bottoms are heavy and fat and would certainly squash the seats quite flat. Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don't even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike ... This riotous board book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. With hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations, this is a real romp of a book - perfect for reading aloud! _______________ Don't miss out on the other hilarious books in this series: You Can't Let an Elephant Drive a Digger, You Can't Call an Elephant in an Emergency, You Can't Take an Elephant on Holiday, and You Can't Let an Elephant Drive a Racing Car. Collect them all!

Reviews

You will laugh out loud * Guardian * Everything that you could wish for in a picture book: humour, ridiculous situations and imagination-stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture book writing and illustration at its very best * Being a Mummy * Chaotic, crazy, fabulously funny and full of humorously energetic illustrations, this is a book that promises to evoke giggles of glee from readers fortunate enough to come across it * Eye, Eye * It's delightfully brought to life with David Tazzyman's quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes * Publishers' Association *
