‘You will laugh out loud’ – Guardian
_______________

Now celebrating 10 years of sensational silliness, this timeless bestseller is full of crazy, clever and chaotic fun. Follow an ensemble of animals as they attempt to ride all sorts of thoroughly unsuitable vehicles in this hilarious, one-of-a-kind rhyming text.

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!
