....Based on the whizzing shenanigans of the phenomenon that is the three-wheeled auto-rickshaw, the lively illustrations and rollicking rhymes ("Tuk tuk riders eat / poppa-doppa-doms /poppa-doppa-doms / poppa-doppa-doms") are sure to be crowd pleasers, especially for read-alouds and storytimes. Golden's humorously quirky watercolors warmly portray the whirl of activity on busy Indian city streets aswell as the beautiful diversity of the people who populate those streets. From grannies with glasses to ladies with top knots, from a serene yogi pronouncing"Om" from the top of a rickshaw to little girls with golden hoops in their ears, from bemused Western tourists to lively families of many shades, the characters invite readers to absorb and embrace the fun....On the whole, the sheer liveliness of spiritbehind the book's playful words and color-drenched illustrations carries the day., Anyonewho's ever been within earshot of preschool story time knows the classicnursery-rhyme song "The Wheels on the Bus," where the wheels go"round and round, round and round, round and round." This joyful take on that rhythmic read-aloud ride takes children to the streetsof India, where it's the tuk tuk wheels that go round and round. (A tuk tuk--pronounced"took took"--is a small, three-wheeled motorized shared taxi that, inillustrator Jess Golden's skillful hands, looks a bit like a friendly green andyellow insect.) People in the street jump on and off, the rupees paid to themoustachioed driver, or wala ,go "ching ching ching" into his hand, and the tuk tuk riders say"Namaste-ji" and go "bobble-bobble-bobble"--that'sright--"all through the town." Mischievous monkeys, traffic-blocking"moo-moo-cows," spraying elephants, and even some Diwali fireworksadd to the fun of the tuk tuk's bobbling, jumbling journey, from morning'sbustle until night when the cows are sleeping and it's time for the tuk tuk,now empty of passengers, to go home. In The Wheels on the TukTuk , India-born Surishtha Seghal and her son, Kabir Sehgal (theteam behind A Bucket ofBlessings ) revel in fun-to-say words like squish and swish, andplayful wordplay like "poppa-doppa-doms" (the crisp flat snack knownas papadoms ,as explained in the book's handy glossary). Golden's ( Snow Dog, Sand Dog )cartoonish watercolor, pastel and colored pencil illustrations are expressiveand artful, and, with a positively edible color palette, paint a warm,welcoming picture of a festive day on the streets of India. Discover: Thepopular nursery song "The Wheels on the Bus" travels to India wherethe wheels are not on a bus but on a tuk tuk that goes "all through thetown."., This joins a legion of wheels-on-the-bus books but with a distinctly urban Indian flavor. Readers from within the culture will be delighted to recognize language, customs, and familiar scenes. Newcomers will learn that a tuk tuk is a three-wheeled minibus, money is called rupees, namaste is a respectful greeting, and sometimes cows doze in the middle of the street, so the driver has no choice but to stop the tuk tuk and let the passengers drink chai and eat "poppa-doppa-dums." It's a bumpy, jam-packed ride and lots of fun, especially with a Diwali party at the end....Charming illustrations in watercolor and crayon render the urban Indian setting in simple, authentic detail. The expressive faces of the tuk tuk riders show just how thrilling and precarious the ride can be. Hop on!, Motorized rickshaws are used around the world, and in India and other parts of Southeast Asia they are called tuk tuks. "Tuk tuk wala says 'Squish in together!' All through the town," write the Sehgals ( A Bucket of Blessings ), a mother-and-son team, in this lovely take on "The Wheels on the Bus," set in an Indian city. As an overstuffed tuk tuk makes its "bobble-bobble-bobble" way through town, "People in the street jump on and off," paying their fare with rupees that go "ching ching ching." Readers get a taste of Indian life as the book nods to Hindi beliefs and customs (the tuk tuk stops for a cow, and readers are taught the greeting "namaste-ji"), poppadoms, and the joyous festival of Diwali. Golden ( Snow Dog, Sand Dog )-working in bright watercolors, pastels, and pencils with the texture and hues of Diwali color powder-portrays a busy, friendly metropolis where getting sprayed by an elephant can be par for the course. It's a wonderfully accessible introduction to daily life in another place. Ages 48., PreS-Gr 2-Thisadaptation of "The Wheels on the Bus" is set in a city in India aboard a tuktuk, an auto rickshaw used by many for public transportation. The tuk tuk wala,or driver, travels throughout the city picking up more and more passengers asthey travel to a Diwali celebration. Along the way, they encounter a cowblocking the street, a chanting yogi, an elephant decorated in paint, and somelocal fare, including papadoms and chai. The illustrations are vibrant withpastels and bright watercolors and the amalgam of people, animals, foods, andbuildings blend together effectively to transport readers to a location withwhich many children will not be familiar. Every detail in the illustrationsfeels deliberate and organic to the locale. An author's note is included thatshares a brief narrative from the events that inspired this adaptation, as wellas a definition of some of the terms used in the story. VERDICT An enjoyable and original picture book thatwill allow readers to experience a different culture while maintaining thefamiliarity to a classic childhood song., Motorized rickshaws are used around the world, and in India and other parts of Southeast Asia they are called tuk tuks. "Tuk tuk wala says 'Squish in together!' All through the town," write the Sehgals ( A Bucket of Blessings ), a mother-and-son team, in this lovely take on "The Wheels on the Bus," set in an Indian city.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
