The Wheels on the Floats - Hardcover

by Monica Vaughn-Flam (Author), Courtney Strickland (Illustrator)

Sing along with the Carnival version of the favored nursery rhyme "The Wheels on the Bus." This playful parody entertains with festive flair, as during Mardi Gras, it's not a bus but a decorated float brimming with beads that delight the youngest parade-goers. Through engaging art and fun prose, children are transported to the parade route, enchanted by the magical sights and scenes of the season.
Excitement fills every page! Tractors honk to the crowds as they pass, pulling the floats all Mardi Gras long. As beads fly through the air and crowds cheer, "Throw me something, mister!" drums boom and dance teams twirl. The best of a young reveler's favorite Carnival parades are all found here. Join in the fun as the floats roll all through the town!
The rhythmic flow of the verse and colorful illustrations immerse readers in the joyous and culturally rich experience of Mardi Gras. Perfect for read-aloud sessions and interactive story times, this whimsical yet educational introduction to the Carnival celebration is an ideal addition to preschools, library shelves, and home collections.
