You can't take an elephant on the 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.

She has also written adult books, plays and visited many countries as a travel journalist. Patricia lives on a smallholding in rural Sussex with lots of animals and a big untidy garden.

About the Illustrator

David grew up in Leicester, and studied illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University. You Can't Take an Elephant on a Bus is his first picture book for Bloomsbury. He lives in south London with his partner and their three children.
Industry Reviews
“You will laugh out loud”
Guardian

“'… delightfully brought to life with David Tazzyman's quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes'”
Publishers Association

“The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour”
Practical Pre-School

“Everything that you could wish for in a picture book, humour, ridiculous situations and imagination stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture book writing and illustration at its very best”
