- You can"t take an elephant on a bus... It would simply cause a terrible fuss! Elephants" bottoms are heavy and fat and would certainly squash the seats quite flat. Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don"t even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike... This riotous picture book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. A real romp of a book, with hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations.
