Children’s Book Review: I’m Your Bus, by Marilyn Singer

Posted by on Aug 10, 2009 in Book Reviews, Children's Books, Past Giveaways | 105 comments

It’s that time again!  And whether your oldest is just starting school, or your seasoned school kids are heading back, chances are there might be some butterflies on “back-to-school jitters” duty.  The new children’s picture book, I’m Your Bus (Scholastic Press) by Marilyn Singer is a sweet book that might help put your kids’ nerves at ease and get them excited about the adventure that awaits on the school bus.  From the publishers:

Get ready for a rip-roaring, rhyming ride that celebrates all things drivin’ with a special spotlight on a kid’s four-wheeled best buddy–his school bus! When you’re a kid, your school bus can be your very best friend. Morning, noon, and nighttime, too, that golden buddy is at your service. Ready to drive you and your friends to and from school!

Our family thought this was a really cute book, and we especially enjoyed the clever rhymes used to tell the story.  As a bonus, my 2yo has read it so many times with us that he now knows the word “bus!”

    The bus picks up my first grader and I take my daughter to preschool-unless there are crazed mornings and I end up driving my son to school.

  • Angie

    My little guy is too small for school yet, but I will for sure drive him to school. I am paranoid.

    My daughter is starting preschool. In the morning, a bus will come pick her up (which is exciting for her as her gramma drives a school bus too) and I pick her up from school in the afternoons.

    This is my daughter’s first year of school. She’ll be taking the bus both ways. Hopefully her experience will be positive.

    The bus!!

  • Lori

    I drive my 8 yr old daughter to /from school everyday. We park 2 blocks from the school and walk the rest.

  • Christine W.

    Since it is still a distance to school and the bus does not come by our home, I take my daughter to school. It just isn’t safe to walk it from our home.

    Thank you,
