Around the corner and up the hill,

Jumping off when the bus stops still.

Animals and friends hop on and off the bus

as it travels through lands near and far,

on special days and everyday afternoons.

On this journey, you can meet everything from cats

and elephants to one very celebratory bee, telling jokes

and adding their opinions. This collection of light-hearted poems

and stories is perfect for a cosy afternoon with your own Nanny.
