BRIEF OVERVIEW: Describes the daylong job a bus has and how accountable a bus can be to a child to get them to school. No matter if it is morning or evening the children can count on the bus to keep them safe as well as their belongings. As the story is read aloud the students will clearly hear the rhyming text.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: This book will be great to introduce a lesson on transportation (most of the children ride the bus so they can relate to the book). Students will share their ways of transportation and other possible forms of transportation. They will categorize the forms of transportation by land, air, or water.
