What is The Lion on the Bus about?

The wheels on the bus are turning, but this is no ordinary journey. A lion climbs aboard, followed by a panther, a crocodile and several other wild passengers. Soon the bus is filled with roaring, growling and plenty of unexpected noises. At first, the animals seem frightening, but the journey takes a surprising turn as everyone joins in the fun. With lively rhythm, playful repetition and a joyful ending, this cheerful story celebrates friendship, inclusion and making room for everyone.
