PreSchool-Grade 2–This is an imaginative story about a little girl who drives a big red bus to adventurous places, with her younger sister as copilot. They climb to the top of the tallest mountains and to the bottom of the deepest oceans, where Patty dives for sunken treasure ("I tell my sister to stay inside the bus where it's safe...."). Speeding in and out of city traffic, they race to a fire that she puts out ("I tell my sister to wait by the bus because she could get burned...."). Next it's on to the circus, where millions of clowns pile into the vehicle. Finally, the bus turns into a spaceship and the children soar to the moon, narrowly averting a giant space rock before returning home. Whimsical cartoons, mainly in shades of red and with goggle-eyed characters, illustrate this action-packed story. Good additional fun.
