The beloved song comes to life as Mango and Papaya try to find their way home. Along the way they make all kinds of new friends and learn that everyone has a home. Special stops at a zoo, an aquarium, a farm, and the Jumbo Shrimp Circus.
Storyline:
The Wheels on the Bus Video delivers all the classic verses of the world-famous song - The Wheels on the Bus, along with clever new verses and brand new songs, all sung by Roger Daltrey of The WHO and the riders on the bus.
Mr. Daltrey is the voice of Argon the Dragon, the driver of the bus. This combination of live action, animatronics puppetry, and computer animation follows a monkey and a toucan as they ride the bus all over town trying to remember where their home is. Along the way they visit a farm, a zoo, the Jumbo Shripm Circus and an aquarium.
With its combination of infectious music by composer Laura Hall, spectacular photography of over fifty animals, and eye-popping animation, The Wheels on the Bus Video gives children an experience that is both entertaining and educational.
The DVD offers some wonderful features, such as AUTO-START, where the program automatically begins when it is inserted into the player, a lyric sheet for singing along, a parent’s guide to learn more about the important socialization skills in this DVD, and a Behind the Scenes video that gives kids a look at exactly what went into this elaborate Hollywood production.

My baby loves it
My son is 20 months & loves this dvd.I got it from the library some wks back since he really likes the song. He was hooked on it the minute it started . I have not seen him enjoy anything on tv as much as this. He asked for it everyday & missed it when I had to return it. So I went online & ordered both the 1st & 2nd for him. He knows all the animals & the fish, he happily shouts out their names when he sees them, he loves the songs & would watch it over & over again if we let him! He does not usually sit in 1 place for more than 15 mins so we were pleasantly surprised. He remembers & asks for specific sounds like fish - glub, or cat - meaow, when I sing the song for him. I must say I like all the songs too esp fill it up.
