Summary: Wild and crazy ride
Review: At a friends house, I just read this (four times) to my soon to be five year old daugther. She wanted more (so now I'm ordering it).Kids love big vehicles (I think because kids have an innate fascination with big animals) so riding a school bus as being swallowed by a dinosaur (which then coughs them up when they get to school) is just perfect. What I (and I think my daughter) loved most about this was the verse. The story is told in the first person from a boy riding the bus-o-saurus to school. The meter is that of Edger Allen Poe's "The Bells", one of my favorite poems.

Summary: Wild and crazy ride
Review: I really liked this book. The bus took the kids on a wild and crazy ride. I like how it swallows them up and spits them out at school. My mom and I love the picture where the teacher is hanging on for dear life. Cool book!

Summary: Put those school bus fears to bed!
Review: This is what read-aloud is all about!
Starting off with a jazzy, snappy rhythm
Early in the mornin'
when the sun is done a snorin'
the boppin bus-a-saurus
comes a-rippin' and a roarin.'
that continues to the very end
. . he burps us out reversed
with the Tardees going first
and the rest of us in spurts
around the town.
This bouncy bus-a-saurus
had my pre-schoolers boppin' to the beat!
And the zany pictures with the kids bouncing
on the tongue are hilarious! We've gotton a lot of mileage out of this bus!
