Bunnies on the Bus

It is a summer’s day in Sunny Town, but the elephant bus driver is too busy giving directions to notice a group of bunnies boarding his bus. With Little Bunny behind the wheel, they take off and leave the elephant behind. The bunnies are on the bus! They are racing through Sunny Town causing such a fuss. They whizz by a turtle with no sign of stopping. They swerve around corners and fly through the air as they pass pandas at the crossing and lambs swinging by the library. The bunnies on the bus are happily reading or piling in the aisles. They’re even on top of the bus. Will the bunnies get caught before they embark on another bunny journey? Naughty bunnies beware!

Bunnies on the Bus, written by Philip Ardagh and illustrated by Ben Mantle, is a crazy romp through Sunny Town with some mischievous bunnies. Ardagh’s fun rhymes and lyrical refrain stick with you long after you close the book. Mantle’s illustrations are hilarious, and details like the bumper sticker on the back of the bus are a fun discovery: “Am I driving well?”
