The Wheels on the Tuk Tuk (Classic Board Books) Board book – March 28, 2023

What a delightful way to introduce very young children, especially those who do not yet know how to read, to the pleasures of books and travel! Like its predecessor, "Bucket of Blessing," is lavishly illustrated and set in an exotic (at least for US kids) locale, making it fun for anyone to see and leaf through. It also draws on a familiar nursery song to acquaint them with the fun and color of street life in an Indian town. I couldn't resist singing the narrative myself! And if the kids want to know what a "Wala" man is, there is a brief glossary of unfamiliar terms at the end. A perfect entry from a mother and son team who really understand what children like and how they learn.

We just returned from a trip to India and was looking for a gift suitable for a small toddler. I found this book online and it is so perfectly accurate and adorable. Her mother loved how it pronounces words has pictures and can be sang to the wheel on the bus. I would 100% recommend this to parents of toddlers.

Very cute and our friends who grew up in India find it hilariously good and love reading it to their kids too. For me it conjures memories of a trip to Bangkok, another place I've ridden a Tuk Tuk. My kids love it. I thought it would be too young for our 5 year old but I think the length and numerous scenarios are what keep it engaging. And I'm sure they'll remember it when they get to ride a Tuk Tuk for the first time.

This is the cutest book! I showed it to my in-laws in India (via video chat) and they loved it! I can’t wait until my little one is old enough to enjoy it.

Fun photos with and a great twist on a classic! Love the glossary at the end which gives some cultural aspects too, great to teach older kids.

A nice Indian-Cultural remix to "Wheels on the Bus," for toddler. Includes a recording of the song itself. I bought it for my nephew (2) and he loves it. My sister and brother-in-law also love it, because it brings an ingredient of our Indian culture with it.

Not amazing literature- kind of annoyed by a few of the chosen verses (“The elephant’s trunk goes spray spray spray,” really?) But definitely a cute, fun book that my children love.I guess I would have just appreciated more than the superficial crap everyone associates with India. Hoping to see more from this author.

I teach my Kindergarten students the "Wheels on the Bus" song. This year I was making a real effort to find read-aloud stories that reflected the many diverse cultures of my students. I saw this book on Amazon (it's set in India), then requested it from a local library to read it in its entirety. I read it to my students and we all loved it, so I knew I had to have a copy of my own!
