Praise for You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus: '... 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 * The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour * Practical Pre-School * 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 * David Tazzyman's scratchy style is a great match to this scatty surprising picture book' * Books for Keeps * 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 *
