Synopsis:

Challenged to a boat race, the kids on Cheech's bus prepare for the daring task of transforming their school bus into a sail bus--heading to the high seas on their new contraption for an adventure of a lifetime filled with sharks and flying fish!

Reviews: Kindergarten-Grade 2—Like Cheech the School Bus Driver (HarperCollins, 2007), this self-indulgent story suffers from forced humor, a predictable plot, and Ramírez's clichéd caricatures. It's as if the Magic School Bus were forced to land on Nickelodeon's "Dora the Explorer" set and take on its formulaic design conventions, while deleting all substance. Picture perpetually amazed eyes widening above ever-rosy cheeks in bodies perched against pixilated backgrounds. This time, the Cheecharrones want to compete in a boat race, their only hope being the conversion of Cheech's vehicle into a "sailbus." Little of note happens during the race or at the climax. For a genuinely entertaining ride, stick with the exploits of Ms. Frizzle in Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen's still-popular series (Scholastic).—Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library
