Whether your child is a walker (like mine) or takes a bus (like some of mine do, too) the first day of school can be real nerve-wracking experience, right?
I'm sure my kids are a little worried about it, too.
We recently received a wonderful new book (along with the chance to share some pretty awesome back-to-school supplies with you guys) from our friends over at Scholastic.com and I'm very happy to be able to tell you about it.
Why?
Well, it sort of makes my 3rd-grader wish she could take the bus to school, instead of waiting on line, with about a thousand other kids, while their parents insist on double-parking in the carpool lane and...well...me too!Want to see?
Watch those backpacks coming through. Have fun today. Learn something new. Later we'll come back for you. Hailey, Michael, Hannah, Russ, see you later. I'm your bus.
A closer look inside I'm Your Bus by Marilyn Singer:
"Get ready for a rip-roaring, rhyming ride that celebrates all things drivin' with a special spotlight on a kid's four-wheeled best buddy--his school bus! When you're a kid, your school bus can be your very best friend. Morning, noon, and nighttime, too, that golden buddy is at your service. Ready to drive you and your friends to and from school!"
FINAL VERDICT: With it's simple graphics (less is more) and encouraging theme (to treat every school day as an adventure) I'm Your Bus would make a wonderful edition to any child's reading list - so, we're donating it to my 8-year-old's school library!
Want one?
The good folks at Scholastic Books have put together a really awesome promotion for the release of I'm Your Bus and I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to share it with families of walkers AND children who take the bus (like we do, both) because, we roll like that!
