1: Appealing to toddlers
Ok, I only gave this one 3 stars - but that's just my opinion. If you asked my 2-year-old it would definitely be a 5 star review. He can't get enough of this book and seems to love everything about it. He points out which bus is "his" bus and which is his brother's. He points out the garbage truck and taxi and cars. Apparently it's a fascinating read if you're 2. However, for me having spent a significant portion of my youth inside one of those yellow school buses - I now fail to understand the allure. Or maybe, more accurately, I'm just tired of reading it every night. As mentioned in other reviews - there is no "story."

2: my 17 month old boy loves it!
whenever i take my boy to the local book store, he runs to this book and sits on my laps so we can read it together.
he sees a dozen of school buses whenever we go out for a walk. when he read this book for the first time, he seemed fascinated to find out where these buses were going.
he's very interested in traffic lights, so he gets all excited when we get to "Stop" and "Go" pages. he points and babbles!
the book shows people lining up for the bus and the scene; i use it as a reference when we go to a toddlers' program and it helps him wait in line for his turn.
the book also has a scene parents picking up kids; my boy gives me a hug as he points at the mommy and the boy hugging in the book.
there are not many words on each page, but there's so much to talk about on each page with my little one!

3: Great for little boys
My two year old son is fascinated with the school busses that pass by the house every day. This book has become one of his favorites. The words are simple enough that he can "read" the pages to himself. Concepts such as stop and go, and big and little are also found in the book.

4: There is no storyline
I bought this book because it was on my son's school summer reading list, and he loves cars, trucks, buses etc. However, it has no storyline. Each page has one or two words that basically say nothing!!! My son liked the pictures, but the "story" didn't hold his attention at all.

5: Perfect for the young child and special needs preschoolers
Need to send your 2- or 3-year old to school on a big yellow bus? Get this book. It is not for the pre-kindergardeners (though it appears on lots of pre-K summer reading lists), but its simplicity and basic language concepts ("cross the town", stop/go, arriving and departing, etc) are perfect for kids just learning language or having trouble with language acquisition. Its also a great way to get your young child used to the idea of buses.
