Synopses & Reviews
The perfect story for a child about to go on the school bus for the first time-a hilarious romp on the bus-a-saurus, a cross between a bus and a dinosaur. In the slightly alternate universe that is the suburban town, things are just a little more zany than reality-or are they? Perfect for the first day, or for any day when the bus ride to school might need a little jazzing up!
Synopsis
Whether their school bus is a brand-new beauty or the oldest dinosaur around-like this one -readers will be carried away by the bouncing, rhyming text and the vibrant, everything's-alive scenery. From our pint-sized hero, Norman, to the Tardee twins, to the wacky-looking driver, Ms. Hopper, this cast of characters is almost as wild looking as the reptilian bus itself. At each stop, a new kid bounds into its belly, and they bounce to the bus-a-saurus beat all the way to school. Perfect for the first day, or for any day when the bus ride to school might need a little jazzing up
