Jeff Rollins- The Wheels on the School Bus

The Wheels on the School Bus
Written by Mary-Alice Moore
Illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith


This book has the words to the song “The Wheels on the School Bus” set to some beautiful art. There are many verses, with each verse incorporating a new school official saying something about what they do in the school. This could be used as a way to introduce other school officials into a music classroom. The vocabulary is appropriate for children in the early elementary school age level, and it certainly would be a good way to introduce the lyrics to the song before trying to teach the actual song. On the last page there is the sheet music to the song, so you could segue perfectly from teaching the vocabulary, to music reading as well.
