Praise for The Bats on the Bus

An Indie Next List Pick

"'The Wheels on the Bus' gets a Halloween makeover.... It's all carefully calibrated to stimulate without terrifying the original song's littlest boosters. Keen-eyed readers will adore the story's visual gags ... A treat full of tricks." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"'The Wheels on the Bus' gets an appealing new spin for Halloween. Jackson's musical text lends itself to boisterous read- or sing-alouds with lots of crowd participation.... Magoon's digital illustrations are full of detail and prominently feature vibrant shades of orange, red, and purple." --The Horn Book

"Magoon's digitally drawn illustrations are dim, setting an ominous tone, but hum with vibrant color; each spread introduces new ghoulish passengers who carry on a unique, dramatic color palette."-- School Library Journal
