The Wheels On The Bus

& Knick Knack Paddywhack

Review Of Paul O. Zelinsky's Interactive Books

Paul Zelinsky's retelling of The Wheels On The Bus and Knick Knack Paddywhack are much more than pop up books - they are lift the flap, turn the wheel and pull the tab extravaganzas!

Your toddler is likely to know at least one of these songs.

They will join in with the singing as well as turning the wheels, opening doors, moving arms and eyes, roll people down hills and making them 'stand up, sit down'.

The illustrations have a 70's look about them, which makes parents who grew up in that era of flares and Jackson 5 pretty nostalgic.

The only problem with these Paul O. Zelinsky books is that in a way, they're too good.

Emily from Ontario said "Our copy of The Wheels... has gotten a bit ripped.

I don't regret this as anything that encourages Tilly to read is worth it in the end. I would maybe put it away when your toddler is going through that 'into everything' stage.

It's good enough that older toddlers and preschoolers (who have a bit more self-control) still get a lot out of it if you get it out at a later stage."
