My Bus

by Byron Barton

Byron Barton (Illustrator)

My Bus is a lively celebration of vehicles and transportation, occupations, pets, and basic math concepts. The busy bus driver in Byron Barton's preschool tour-de-force has a job to do. He drives his bus along his route, picks up the cat and dog passengers waiting at the bus stops, and delivers them to their destinations-which in this case include the airport, the harbor, and the train station. Along the way, children are introduced to the concepts of addition, subtraction, and sets. A surprise ending of sorts-what will happen to the very last passenger?-makes this a great read-aloud for story time and bedtime. A companion to Byron Barton's critically acclaimed picture book My Car and a standout addition to this beloved author's body of work. Sure to appeal to fans of Richard Scarry, Donald Crews, and books about cars, trucks, and things that go! Supports the Common Core State Standards

Written, to type. Sequel. Not my favorite type of illustrations, but without that preference in mind it is a good book for what it is.

My Bus 4 stars

Notes: Greenwillow. Transportation
40 Jacketed Hardcover 9x9”. Ages 4-8 Preschool

Illustrations reminicent of Todd Parr. My Bus is my first Byron Barton book, although I have an ARC of My Bike sitting here waiting on me. The illustrations are simple and bright. They are full of examples the earliest artists may emulate My Bus allows reader to meet several examples transportation theme box. It is very simple and happy and includes multiple ethnicities and gender representation. Great for early readers.

My Bike

Notes: Greenwillow. Transportation

We met Joy in My Bus, and now we have Tom in My Bike. This is a great primer on a bicycle. The text is appropriate for the beginning reader. The illustrations are good interest for the toddler population and would make a fun board book. My Bike even has a cameo experience for Joe’s bus! (and maybe the My Car man as well?) Continuing a transportation theme, this cyclist takes us through basic road transportation… and circus animals……. It also teaches bi, tri, and uni.
