"The Wheels on the Bus" gets an extra syllable, a siren, a hose, and a snazzy new ladder. This variation on the popular children's song should hit the spot with budding truck aficionados among the diapered set. The text is a straight adaptation of "The Wheels on the Bus," with firetruck and firefighting themes replacing the sights and sounds of a bus rider's commute. The siren goes "Woo-woo-woo," the lights go "Flash, flash, flash," the riders "hold on tight," the ladder goes "up, up, up," and the hose, of course, goes "swish-swish-swishânow, the fire's out." The book won't win awards for originality, but it should be a toddler pleaser. The colors on the cover are an explosion of reflective red foil against a bright yellow background; the interior colors are more muted but still bright and cheery. The firefighters and onlookers are anthropomorphic animals in firefighter costume or civvies, as the case may be. Characters include a racoon, some bunnies, a fox, and a woodchuck, among others, all rendered in an accessible, cartoony style. Between the bright colo rs and the smiling gameness of the furry firefighters, the proceedings should excite and delight most tots. Short, sweet, and engaging; a sing-along introduction to furry first responders. (Board book. 1-3) Copyright Kirkus 2019 Kirkus/BPI Communications. All rights reserved.
