The Children at the Playground (Xist Children's Books)

This is a cute book based on the well-known children's song; The Wheels on the Bus. As this just happens to be one of my grandson's favourite songs, it was perfectly suited to him and he was mesmerised from the start.The illustrations were excellent, colourful and clear, if slightly childish.There was a small issue of language here though, as none of the parents who read the book along with me, had any idea what a teeter-totter was, and everyone ended up substituting the word see-saw. Similarly, frisbee would have fitted the rhyme better than disc towards the end. Never mind, small niggles really, my grandson loved it and that's what counts.

This story in this picture book is set to the popular children's song, 'The Wheels Go Round'; it's impossible to read it without singing along! The book is fun to read (and sing!), the watercolour-style images are beautiful, and the text is big and clear. A great all-round book!

The Children at the Playground is a really fun little picture book that is set to the rhythm of "The Wheels on the Bus." I really enjoyed it and it is just perfect for active story times or to read before, after, or during a playground visit. I can see it being a firm favourite and being sung many times over! It has some lovely, bright images to illustrate the song too - 5 stars!
