Reminds me a bit of the "Wheels on the bus go round and round". Could well be sung, as well as read. Very silly book. Sometimes we need silly books. Silly rabbits taking over a bus, and racing through town, with a great refrain. A home-renovation project is interrupted by a family of wrens, allowing a young girl an up-close glimpse of nature.

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. The Highway Code. The idea that it’d ever be safe for me to sit behind the wheel of a car is a complete joke. Watch out! Move out of the way! Hold onto your tails! There are … BUNNIES ON THE BUS! And they aren’t stopping for ANYONE! 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.Once your rabbit has started to feel more comfortable in their new travel carrier, get them used to staying in there for longer periods of time.

I liked all the animal characters in the book. And we spotted the bad squirrels all the way through the story. It’s been six and a half weeks since the first (and only) time I’ve read this book before today and throughout that time my brain has involuntarily and quite randomly been singing/chanting at me: Bunnies on the bus! The repetition not only helps the rhymes to flow well, but also gave me the same weirdly soothing feeling as The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round.

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.

Bonded bunnies travel together– if you have a bonded pair of bunnies, put them in the same travel carrier. They will provide each other with comfort. 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.And there is something else happening as well.. something to do with a pair of baddies who have escaped. I won’t tell more than that, but I loved that this was added to the mix. I liked the images and thought that they worked well with the story and I loved that the hamsters went by in their balls! 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 wording is quite minimal and the first two phrases are repeated. This will help new readers to read. It also rhymes and I know kids love a rhyming book.
