What a great way to go beyond the usual "Wheels on the Bus" and instead, expose children to a scene from India. Can talk about their greetings, their money......it's all different yet it's such a familiar tune. It aids in learning let me tell you! ( ) Taking the classic children's song, The Wheels on the Bus, as an inspiration and starting point, mother-son author team Surishtha and Kabir Sehgal transplant the narrative to a busy city in India, and substitute a tuk-tuk - a sort of automated rickshaw - for the bus. The singsong narrative follows the tuk tuk and its walla (or driver) as they pick up and set down passengers, and make their way through the busy streets... I liked the idea of The Wheels on the Tuk Tuk quite a bit, and appreciated the glimpse it offered of India, a setting too infrequently seen in American picture-books. I was reminded a bit, in this sense, of Karen Lynn Williams' Tap-Tap, a picture-book featuring the colorful trucks that function as buses in Haiti. That said, although I appreciated the theme here, sometimes the rhyme felt a little awkward, as if the authors weren't quite able to fit the words they wanted into the existing song structure. No doubt this is the drawback of using such a well-known piece of music as a template. Leaving that aside, this was an engaging book, and featured colorful, appealing artwork. Recommended to those looking for new takes on the old song, The Wheels on the Bus, or for picture-books with an Indian setting and cultural background. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
