'You will laugh out loud' - Guardian _______________ Get ready for a fun-filled ride and join a whole range of crazy creatures on a hilarious picture book adventure! You can’t take an elephant on the bus … It would simply cause a terrible fuss! Elephants' bottoms are heavy and fat and would certainly squash the seats quite flat. Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don't even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike … This riotous picture book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. With hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations, this is a real romp of a book – perfect for reading aloud! _______________ Don't miss out on the other hilarious books in this series: You Can't Let an Elephant Drive a Digger, You Can't Call an Elephant in an Emergency, You Can't Take an Elephant on Holiday, and You Can't Let an Elephant Drive a Racing Car. Collect them all!
