Preorder: The Yellow Bus [hc]
By Loren Long [Ohio]
There is a bright yellow bus who spends her days driving. She loves carrying children from one important place to another. Every morning they climb in... Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, giggle, giggle-patter. And they fill her with joy.
As time passes, things change. The Yellow Bus gets a new driver, a new route, and new passengers, young and old. Until one day the driving stops for good, and the Yellow Bus is left on her own. And yet, no matter where she is, the Yellow Bus still finds joy and discovery in the world around her. 48 pages
"What happens to the objects around us after they leave our lives? This bittersweet tale evokes Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House as it traces the long life of a yellow school bus... The illustrations dazzle. In most spreads, the background is black and white, in graphite and charcoal pencil; the bus is painted in bright yellow acrylic paint, drawing the eye and emphasizing the joy of the bus (a repeated refrain in the text)." -School Library Journal, Starred Review (Kindergarten-Grade 2)
"A front-seat view of a school bus’s long and varied life." -Kirkus Reviews (Ages 3-6)
