'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!

Reviews for You Can´t Take An Elephant On the Bus
You will laugh out loud
Guardian
‘… 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
The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour
Practical Pre-School
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
David Tazzyman’s scratchy style is a great match to this scatty surprising picture book’
Books for Keeps
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
