Bus-a-saurus Bop — Diane Z. Shore

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!
