About the Author:

An author of over fifty books for children, including Do Like a Duck Does! and Rosy's Visitors. Illustrator of The Big Red Bus by Judy Hindley.

From School Library Journal:

PreS?The wheels on this bus don't go round and round. Instead, one wheel gets stuck in a pothole?"OH NO!"?and a van, car, motorcycle, steamroller, and little truck all must "STOP!" Finally, a passing tractor saves the day. Everyone then drives away except the little truck and the steamroller; they repair the road. The action is simple, sequential, and quick paced. Benedict's jaunty ink lines, flat gouache colors, and bold sense of design, including a clever fold-out section, create an energetic array of agreeable characters and vehicles all stranded on the side of the road. A sequence with a rabbit pictured on the front and back endpapers adds its own bit of humor and fun. With its large typeface and supplemental cartoon dialogue balloons, this story begs to be read aloud, preferably to a crowd of toddlers who, with minimal prodding, won't be able to resist participating.?Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI
