Watch out! Move out of the way! Hold onto your tails! There are … BUNNIES ON THE BUS! And they aren’t stopping for ANYONE! Bunnies on the Bus by Philip Ardagh is and adorable preschool book that is clearly written to be read aloud. The illustrations by Ben Mantle are engaging without being a distraction from the story. I enjoyed reading this story with my child and looking at the pictures and seeing all of the small details. For example, by looking at the illustrations, one sees a cute subplot about two with two masked squirrels who have escaped and are on the run.

I actually wanted to read this during Easter (because bunnies), but I just wasn’t in the right mind for it. So here I am a day later and it is a happy belated Easter read. A romping, riotous read-aloud from best-selling author Philip Ardagh and award-winning illustrator Ben Mantle This is a hilarious read about a bunny bus driver who gets a whole bunch of happy and naughty bunnies in his bus and ends up having a whole party with them and driving like he is in the movie SPEED (for reals though, I do hope that he normally drives a bit more carefully and with less flying). The rhyming text of this story make it a great class read aloud and it could also be used to inspire further writing in class. It’s bouncy rhythm, and use of rhyme and repeated phrases mean that pupils will take great delight in joining in as they become more familiar with the text.This is really funny . I also read bunnies on the boat. I like to look at the pictures and see what mess they make and the other animals reactions. They are very cheeky. I can't wait to read bunnies on the plane. Here we go again !

Very silly book. Sometimes we need silly books. Silly rabbits taking over a bus, and racing through town, with a great refrain. Renata’s wren encounter proves magical, one most children could only wish to experience outside of this lovely story. The bunnies have taken over the bus and they’re on a wild ride across the streets of Sunnytown! They whizz past the bus stop, swerve around corners and zoom over crossings on a non-stop roller coaster adventure! There are bunnies on the roof! Bunnies in the aisle! DO sit down, bunnies, or you’ll end up in a pile! Eventually, they come to a stop … at the train station. And what’s that they’ve spotted? A TRAIN! Uh-oh, here we go again… A hilarious romp of a book, with a fantastic read-aloud rhyming text and spectacular illustrations.Watch out! Move out of the way! Hold onto your tails! There are ... BUNNIES ON THE BUS! And they aren't stopping for ANYONE! Ei tässä kaikessa olisi mitään järkeä, ellei Ben Mantlen kuvitus olisi niin riemastuttava. Sivuille on kätketty monenlaisia pieniä yksityiskohtia ja minitarinoita, joissa seikkailevat muun muassa pankin rosmonneet oravat, epäonninen postinkantaja ja romanttinen karhu. Suojatietä ylittämässä nähdään myös neljä koppakuoriaista - vanha vitsi lämmittää aina Beatles-fanin sydäntä! Bunnies on The Bus is a great fun read written by Philip Ardargh and illustrated by Ben Mantle. The bunnies are off on a madcap ride through the busy streets of Sunnytown. Watch out as they zoom around corners, whizz past shoppers and shoot past parks! Don’t forget to watch out for two sneaky squirrels on the run through the town! The illustrations are engaging and inspiring. Pupils could very easily draw maps of Sunnytown or their own localities to serve as planning tools for their stories and even support locational knowledge in Geography lessons. They could choose to change the type of vehicle the bunnies travel in, or the animals they whizz past on their journey. The boom would lend itself well to alternate versions. I can’t write this review without mentioning the stars of the story, the bunnies on the bus. The bunnies themselves are a right bunch of characters and it’s great that you can clearly see their different personalities through the images. There’s a mum bunny with her baby along with crazier younger bunnies all wanting an adventure!

If you do need to take your rabbit on the train or bus, there are many things you can do to minimise stress for your furry friend. The story is a very simple one and follows the crazy bus full of bunnies as it zips around the town causing all sorts of havok and not stopping anywhere until it gets to its destination. Inside the bunnies are just crazy, moving around, causing non-stop silliness as they laugh, jump, end up on the roof, and basically become a bit of a silly boistrous nuisance, much like some children can sometimes be when gathered in a large group and having fun. Each part of the story has a great rhyme to it and there is even some repetition of phrases like ‘Bunnies on the Bus’. The whole story, or bus ride, ends well too and will definitely spark the imagination of the antics the bunnies will get up to on the next part of their journey. A romping, riotous read-aloud from best-selling author Philip Ardagh and award-winning illustrator Ben Mantle. Public transport can be a pretty unpredictable place, and the sounds, sights and smells of a busy bus or train can be scary and highly stressful for a rabbit. You also want to prevent your bunny from seeing any sudden movements which can give them a real fright.Playful and colourful activity sheets to accompany one of our favourite picture books… Bunnies on the Bus!

Recreate the feeling of a small burrow by using plenty of hay and blankets. Additionally, be sure to cover the carrier with an additional blanket to protect your rabbit from the strange new sounds, smells and sights of public transport. This book has certainly made me smile. It’s so funny, has so much detail to see and you can’t help but enjoy the silly ending, and wonder how bad/hectic things could get in the place the bunnies are going next. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone and I hope there are more like this! A home-renovation project is interrupted by a family of wrens, allowing a young girl an up-close glimpse of nature.Instead, introduce the carrier during playtime, leaving door open so your rabbit can enter it on its own. b) Entice your rabbit in the carrier with treats. You want your rabbit to feel as at home in its travel carrier as possible. This will minimise stress as your rabbit won’t feel completely out of its comfort zone while on public transport.
