The Bus For Us by Suzanne Bloom
“‘Is this the bus for us Gus?’
So begins The Bus For Us, with an ever-hopeful Tess asking Gus whether each vehicle is their bus, only to find that it is a fire truck, or garbage truck, or ice cream truck. Anticipation builds as the bus stop gets busier and busier with waiting children. Combines anticipation with the repeated refrain, “Is this the bus for us Gus?”
Features children of different racial backgrounds and is available in a bilingual Spanish/English edition.
Why Maya Loves: If you have a child that is enthusiastic about buses, as both of mine are, then this book, with its whimsical illustrations, repetitive text, and sense of suspense, will be an instant hit.
Recommended age: 1 – 3 years
