Here Comes a Bus

Encouraging children to anticipate and find out is something we always hope to do and here is a book which does just that. Two children, Mum and baby wait for their bus and wonder on every page if this will be the one... over the page and lift the flap... and the bus is full of animals... no, this is not the bus for us. So there comes a bus full of animals, then one full of fish, the next full of zoo animals, and the next with skeletons for the Natural History Museum... and finally the bus for the children.

I do think flap books are overrated although this one is fun, but they really do not have a long life even if used properly. However I like the idea of this one because, it helps with sorting and categorising, and happily the right bus comes along eventually!
