Synopsis

Few words are needed in this inventive and fun transportation adventure!

"Bus! Stop!" a boy yells, as his bus pulls away one early morning. He must wait for the next bus. But the next one does NOT look like his bus at all. And neither does the next one, or the next. At first, the boy is annoyed. Then he is puzzled. Then intrigued. The other buses look much more interesting than his bus. Maybe he should try a different bus after all, and he's glad he does!

Here is a book with few words and delightful illustrations that shows very young children that trying something a little different can be a lot of fun.

Reviews

PreS-Gr 1—An orange-faced boy misses his bus but is rewarded with a parade of wacky vehicles that soon follow. A group of triangle-people wearing propeller beanies rise into the air to catch a bus on elevated wheels. "THAT is NOT my bus," the hero declares. He also forgoes the covered wagon that fills up with cowpokes, a boat loaded up with sailors, and a bouncy house truck that's enjoyed by balloon-shaped people. "Maybe I should have taken THAT bus." He finally hails a striped floating raft with an animal face whose passengers are varied. As they float away, the boy sees a girl rushing to catch the this bus—but she misses it, completing the circle. The long horizontal format enhances the quirkiness of the tale, which progresses from day to night, and includes a pair of bird cohorts to find on each spread. VERDICT Humor suitable for all ages sets an example of how to think creatively while waiting. Yang's refreshing offering will appeal to anyone who has ever missed a bus.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
