Summary: back to childhood
Review: I felt like I was reliving my childhood! I grew up in Boston and remember the excitement of having special days in town with my mother. We would end our wonderful day by stopping by Bailey's for a sundae. She would recall her special days with her mother and doing the same things that we did!

Summary: What a neat book--especially for bus lovers and Boston folks
Review: My sons and I just love this book! It's about a bus trip to Boston in the recent past, complete with trips to Filene's Basement, Haymarket fruit stalls and Bailey's Ice Cream. The pictures are wonderful---the houses shown look just like so many working class Boston suburbs and have so much character. I'm sure anyone who has taken the bus into Boston (or any city really) will be able to remember through the book the thrill that it can be when you're a kid, and how enjoyable everyday little treats can be. Lots of fun to read and look at!

Summary: fun nostalgic look at The Hub
Review: The author relives fond childhood memories of travelling into Boston with her mother and sister to visit Boston's Italian North End, riding the bus and visiting Filene's Basement, an ice cream shop, produce market, butcher and baker. especially fun for kids familiar with Boston, this book would also be of interest to those who ride the bus, like shopping or hold an interest in Italy.

Summary: Great Book about visits to Boston
Review: This book is just terrific. I grew up in Somerville, MA and took the bus and train into Boston very often. It brought back so many memories of growing up. I used to go to Filene's Basement all the time with my mother, as well as, Bailey's, Haymarket, etc. My son just loves the book, almost as much as me.

Summary: A wonderful, nostalgic trip
Review: This story hit such a resonant chord. While my trips into Boston originated in Madlen, MA, and we traveled on the T, my childhood experiences in the Basement and all the fun of a day in Boston have been captured in this wonderful picture book. It has brought back such wonderful memeories that I feel like it was written just for me.

Summary: Bus full of Memories
Review: When I saw this book it immediately caught my attention. Opening it brought back all the memories I had of as a little girl joining my mother and my Nana on our yearly trips to Boston. This is one book that is a must for my collection and my family's recollection. 8)
