Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

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.–Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Red Bus is fun for all, April 15, 2005
By 
A reader (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventures of Patty and the Big Red Bus (Hardcover)
Patty and the Big Red Bus is an fun story for all. I must admit that I enjoy reading it to children, as much as they enjoy hearing it. This is a great story for all kids but it is especially fun for a family. This book looks at sibling relationships in a hilarious manner, as Patty and her younger (but heroic) sister go on a series of adventures. The vibrant illustrations which span across every page will capture anyones attention. I highly recommend this book.
