I'm Your Bus

I'm Your Bus
by Marilyn Singer
illustrated by Evan Polenghi

3-Year-Old: Thumbs Up
Mom: Mixed

Summary: A happy bus describes his day starting from the break of dawn when he wakes up, to the evening when he goes to sleep.

Review: This is another rhyming book that didn't capture me.  The rhyming seemed forced and there wasn't much plot, but my son loves it.  In fact, we had his best friend over (another 3-year-old) and he loved it too.  I think their favorite part of the book is the art.  They both pointed out the funny face on the bus and the fact that the street light at the beginning had a face on it.  Then my son noticed that in the row of busses, each bus had a different nose and mouth.  The book talks about how the bus looks out for the children and is there for them.  I think they responded to the happy tone of the book and the playful art.
