The library featured in this book is a school library. Buzzeo includes many versus in the song. I only used a few during storytime, not all. It was a fun book to sing with a group.

I love to sing this with my kindergartners in the library. They love interactive books with actions and I like to keep them busy and entertained. Great book!

Sung to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus", this story makes a great interactive introduction to the library and what we do there. The library portrayed in the story is just like ours: busy with kiddos all day long, child-centered, and a fun place to be. Some verses are jumping off points for other lessons, such as subject/author/title searching, but overall the emphasis is on the basics: checking in and out, using quiet voices, and enjoying stories together.

Great book for teaching library skills during storytime. It's a little text heavy for my short lesson times, but even without reading the whole book, it's still a great fit. I LOVE Mrs. Skorupski, the Librarian, in this series too, with her quirky tarantula earrings and sparkly glasses.

A fun book that can be enjoyed by kids, especially if sung using the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus". The illustrations are cute too.

If your kids love the Wheels on the Bus song and you want them to get excited about books, this is a great one to try! The illustrations are colorful and detailed, and the story/song showcases all of the good things that kids can find at the library. I particularly liked the page that shows the "Librarians have more fun" pillow on her desk chair.

I love all the Mrs. Skorupski stories and Toni's very helpful teacher materials (available on her website). I use all the books often with my students.

This is just the Wheels on the Bus song applied to the library.
