Reviews
Toddler-K—In this spare, rhyming text, many children present favorite forms of transportation from the traditional to fantastical—but nothing can top their bus! The opening endpapers show a cheerful, empty double-decker bus approaching in a sunny, colorful landscape, while the back endpapers show the bus full of kids headed off into the moonlit night. The inside is divided into four sections, each of which culminates in a celebratory chant as the bus stops to pick up the children from the previous pages: "But the best is the bus. The bus is for us." The first section singles out everyday forms of transport: "I really like to ride my bike… When it starts to rain/I like the train." As the book goes along the featured rides get more imaginative: "Fly to the moon/in a hot-air balloon. Or, for a dare,/ride on a bear." The watercolor illustrations, done in pastel colors with round lines and swirly, dreamlike backgrounds, keep the scenes soft and inviting. VERDICT This gentle but spirited ride is designed to please even the youngest listeners.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA
