You Can’t Take an Elephant on a Bus by Patricia Cleveland-Peck & David Tazzyman is a funny picture book where we see all sorts of animals riding unsuitable vehicles from an elephant on a bus, tiger on a train, pig on a skateboard to a hippo in a hot air balloon.
Just seeing the cover has Freya in stitches & she happily joins in pointing out the ludicrousness of each animal & their chosen vehicle. The animals need not despair as the last spread provides the perfect mode of transport for them as well as inducing huge grins for us.
