The seals on the bus go errp, errp, errp
All through the town.

This book takes the classic The Wheels on the Bus and gives it a twist with loads of different animals on the bus.

A perfect book for beginning learners that takes in their most common interests: silliness and animals.

I always look for a video to accompany the book, but this one doesn’t have one specifically for it (at least not a good one).

However, there is this one from Super Simple Songs that is nice to watch and effectively introduces the tune.

The layout for this lesson follows the same pattern as the other story lessons. Introduce and practice vocabulary, introduce the song and book to get their interest.
