A school bus full of monsters can’t wait to celebrate Halloween in this spooktacular picture book adaptation of a classic nursery rhyme.

When Halloween tricksters gather after dusk, they sing “The Wheels on the Bus” in order to cause a fright. Featuring a cast of silly monsters who aren’t quite what they seem—including witches who scream where’s my broom!, ghosts who shout boo!, and skeleton bones that go clankety clank!—this spooky-fun reimagining of the beloved nursery rhyme will have little ones squealing with delight as they chant all around the town!

Genre:

“A classic nursery rhyme turned spooky! Every little goblin and ghoul will be singing this tune all around town.”
Lily Clay, children’s buyer, Eagle Harbor Book Co
