Title: Pacifier and bottle - I'd rather see some breastfeeding
Review: This board book illustrates the catchy tune, "Wheels on the Bus". I haven't been able to read it without singing it! However, I did not care for the illustrations in this version. The style was fine - soft colors in a European city - but the content was disappointing. For example, there is a young girl with a very sour expression, sticking her tongue out at her mother and other passengers. Yuck. In addition, the baby on the bus appears to lose the pacifier in her mouth during the "up and down" and cries until Mama gives her a bottle. Shouldn't Mama be nursing her baby? With so many excellent books out there, I would skip this one and sing the song with your little one while spinning your hands around, jumping up and down, and acting out the song.
