A seemingly simple trip to grandma's becomes magical and wondrous in THE BUS RIDE by Marianne Dubuc.

A little girl gets on the bus all by herself for the first time. She expects just a normal, boring trip, but this is anything but! The bus is filled with animals all going about their own business. The girl watches their antics, wards off a thief, and shares her cookies with a new friend.

The 2 page spread illustrations mirror the long and narrow confines of a bus, and the animals contained within are absolutely adorable. The warm colors invite readers to take a closer look at the page, while the simple text and font do not distract from the illustrations. Hidden details that young readers will be delighted to find make this book perfect for multiple readings.

Curious and clever, THE BUS RIDE is a classic-in-the-making that children will love to open up and discover again and again.
