Customer Reviews

"The Blue Bus"

I liked this story because of the ending and how interesting it was. The story was about a bus driven by a man named Mack. Some people on the street where yelling at Mack to watch out and he did. Guess what was down there? It was an animal that was very loud and no one could get it to stop. Read the book "The Blue Bus" to find out what it is. Katie V.

The Book for Us

Gus and Tess see a parade of interesting vehicles as they wait for the school bus. A rythmic refrain repeats. The colorful, lively illustrations contain much to discuss and make multiple readings fun for child and adult alike. My two-year-old son enjoys vehicles and loves the short text of this delightful book.
