"The seals on the bus go "errp, errp, errp"
All through the town."
Two children and their parents board a city bus on their way to a party. At the next stop, who should get on but a group of seals, who holler "errp, errp, errp" at the top of their lungs.

But when several hissing skunks want to come aboard, even the children cry "help! help! help!"
This hilarious new version of the beloved children's song "The Wheels on the Bus" will have young readers errping and roaring and honking along.
