Bookroo's summary

Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster hop on a bus filled with quirky characters like a furball with a boombox, frogs, and yipping Martians. As the bus rolls on, the passengers' antics create a symphony of laughter and chaos. Will the ride ever calm down, or is this just the beginning of a musical adventure? Get ready to sing along and giggle with every turn of the page.

From the publisher

The Wheels on the Bus, a perennial favorite of the toddler set, gets a uniquely Sesame Street spin in this very funny Little Golden Book. Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster board a bus and meet some wacky passengers, including a furball with a boombox, frogs, cows, a brass band, and a family of yipping Martians. The sound effects in the chorus reflect the voices and activities of the passengers in a way that will have little ones–and adults–laughing out loud as they join in the song.
