Our Review

This cheerful adaptation of the classic "Wheels on the Bus" song follows the ever-popular Pete the Cat as he experiences the excitement of a school bus ride. The rhythmic, repetitive text is perfectly pitched for preschoolers, inviting them to sing along as Pete encounters his feline friends. The vibrant, bold illustrations capture the upbeat, groovy style that makes this character so beloved, turning a familiar journey into a new adventure. This read-aloud book transforms a potential source of anxiety into a fun, musical experience centered around school transportation.

What sets this picture book apart is its masterful blending of musical fun with early school readiness themes. The predictable song structure builds phonological awareness and memorization skills, while the school bus setting provides a comforting preview of the preschool or kindergarten routine. Children who love music, repetition, and the cool blue cat will be instantly engaged, asking for repeated readings. It’s a winning combination that makes the transition to school feel like a joyful, sing-along celebration.
