Animal Bus A shaped countdown book

Children can count down from 5 to 1 and discover where all of the animals are going in this fun, shaped board book!

This engaging, shaped board book follows the adventures of bus driver Dog and friends. The story begins with five adorable animal characters on the bus and follows along as they each get off at a different stop. Readers are clued in to the animals' final destination through prompts and artwork that shows Zebra getting off the bus carrying balloons; Bear disembarking with a picnic basket in hand; and Giraffe leaving the bus with a bag full of party hats. The number of die-cut animals decreases with each turn of the page, adding to the interactivity and fun.
