A humorous take on the popular song "The Wheels on the Bus." In this version, a menagerie of animals -- seals, tigers, geese, rabbits, snakes -- board the bus and make their respective noises. By the end, the people left on the bus scream, "Help, help, help," all around the town.
Karas's illustrations add to the humorous situations. When the skunks board the bus, not only do the people hold their noses, but several of the animals seem to experience similar distress.
