Review:

... 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 on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS * The bold, caricature-style illustrations, rhyming couplets and varying font styles add to the humour * Practical Pre-School on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS * 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 on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS * David Tazzyman's scratchy style is a great match to this scatty, surprising picture book * Books for Keeps on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS * 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 on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS *
