Donald Crews has written and illustrated a number of picture books about different modes of transportation, where the text is sparse but the pictures are vibrant. This is a genius idea, really, because kids love cars, trucks, and things that go; my eldest daughter is addicted to vehicles. As the

title suggests, this book is all about school buses. The story follows a simple day in the life of a bus, as it transports children to school and home again. Every page is a full spread of luscious illustration, with a lot of bright yellow. It's a very simple story, but the pictures are engaging, and it meets its purpose of exploring different facets of school buses. A good choice for children with an interest in things on wheels.

Personal response:
This book will be a good book to read to students on their first day of school because many children ride the school bus and the first time you ride it, it can be scary.

Classroom extension ideas:
1. I will have the students color a yellow school bus and they will draw themselves on the bus.
2. We could also play red light green light so the students learn when it is ok to go and when you are supposed to stop when there is a red or green light. When I say green light the students will come towards me then I will say red light and they must stop!

This book talks about the school bus and all the important jobs a school bus does. It also can help prepare children for riding the bus.

The book would be great for students to get them excited about riding the bus if they are weary to ride. The story is great for prediction and teaching stop and go.

This book is about how does the bus drive in the town.

shows children school buses and their uses

Great for kids 1-4 in accordance to association of things they see in life.

Great book that puts children inside the world that a school bus has, picking up kids to take them to school, taking the kids home from school. All included.

Ok, I only gave this one 3 stars - but that's just my opinion. If you asked my 2-year-old it would definitely be a 5 star review. He can't get enough of this book and seems to love everything about it. He points out which bus is "his" bus and which is his brother's. He points out the garbage truck

and taxi and cars. Apparently it's a fascinating read if you're 2. However, for me having spent a significant portion of my youth inside one of those yellow school buses - I now fail to understand the allure. Or maybe I'm just tired of reading it every night.
