The Wheels On The Bus Sing-Along Travel Kit Giveaway

24 Replies

Is that just the greatest? A charming animation of a favorite children’s song. Scholastic’s new Sing-Along Travel Kit features The Wheels On The Bus but that’s not all: it’s got 15 stories on two DVDs, 13 songs on CD, and activity booklet – with crayons – and a travel tips booklet for parents. I’m actually sad that my kids are too old for this kit, because I know when they were younger they would have enjoyed watching, listening and singing along.

I’m going to tell you a secret too: the list of stories on the DVD includes Giles Andreae’s Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. I love kids books and I’m a fan of many authors and animators but Gerald the Giraffe will always be one of my very favorites. It’s such a great story told in Andreae’s comical rhyming style. There’s plenty of other great stories on this DVD, but this one is my top pick of the selection.

julius-cesear-wicked-history Thanks to the friendly people at Scholastic, I can follow up BigB’s reviews of the Wicked History biographies of Francisco Pizarro, Cixi, Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great with a giveaway. Yay!

Scholastic has kindly donated the latest titles in this fun series for independent readers: Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Otto Von Bismark and Alexander the Great. If you’re planning a trip to Italy, France or Germany, these will be a great way to help your child learn about the history of the country before you travel. If you don’t have plans to go anywhere, don’t despair, a good book is always a great vehicle for some excellent armchair family travel.
