About the authors
For millions of fans, Raffi’s music was the soundtrack of their childhood. These “beluga grads” now share his songs with their own kids. Raffi has been described by the Washington Post and the Toronto Star as the most popular children’s entertainer in the western world, and Canada’s all time children’s champion. Raffi is a tech enthusiast, entrepreneur, and ecology advocate. He holds three honorary degrees, is the recipient of numerous awards, and is a Member of the Order of Canada and the Club of Budapest.
Sylvie Kantorovitz is the author of SYLVIE, a graphic memoir about becoming an artist, that Kirkus Reviews called "comforting, warm, calm, and deeply satisfying."
She has illustrated many picture books, including the bestselling WHEELS ON THE BUS, a Raffi Song to Read. She is now telling stories in comics -- or graphic novel -- form, as with the MONTI AND LEO series and with A NEW CAR FOR PICKLE.
She was born in Casablanca, grew up in France, and now lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her partner, author-illustrator Barbara Lehman.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2008We got this book for our son; originally, from the local library... we had to get it out several times, as it quickly became his favorite. Eventually, we bought it to add to our collection.
The book brings the simple interactive song, The Wheels on the Bus" to life as each verse is wonderfully illustrated with artwork that captures a child's attention and provides LOTS of visual stimulation and teaching points. Vibrant colors, interesting people and actions make the beautifully simple song something you can sit down with your child and read over and over, pointing out new things...
We read the book, sing with the book, make the hand movements/gestures, go into detail about the vignettes presented in the back-story, use our imagination, object, action and color recognition, it's a great way to connect educationally and in a simple, entertaining way.
This book is up there with "Green Eggs and Ham" "You Are Special" "Guess How Much I Love You" and "Go Dog Go" as a key component of any young child's library.
Your decision should not be "if" I get this book for a child, but whether you get the board book, paper book, or both!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016This Raffi "Songs to Read" book is my toddlers favorite book, hands down. We originally borrowed a copy from our local library and he became attached to the book (we had to read it over and over and over again), so we purchased our own copy.
At first he simply loved that my husband and I sang the book to him. But as we read it more and more he learned what verses go where and started to do hand motions or sounds for them on his own. Reading the book is now a totally interactive activity. We ask him what comes next, and he responds. So we have a lot of fun family time with this book. And I highly recommend adding this book to your library.
Plus, I think overall it is a fun change of pace to sing a book to a child rather than just reading it.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2014Mostly a lovely book with a traditional song, but I have one big complaint: The baby is drinking from a bottle. It is clearly too young to be drinking anything but breast milk. I thought about throwing the book away because of this image, but my toddler loves the book so much that I decided to put up with it -- after all, as a TODDLER she drinks WATER from a bottle! If you are like me, and refuse bottle-feeding images in your breast-feeding house, you might want to consider other books before your baby gets hooked on this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024My three year old chose this as a gift for meet little sister for Christmas. It’s cute and good quality.

La chanson "Wheels on the bus" est très jolie sur le disque de Raffi "Animal songs", et le livre est un compagnon qui va vraiment bien avec. Les deux sont très appréciés de notre fils.
