Genre: picture book
The newest
book from author/illustrator Byron Barton is sure to delight fans of his
previous transportation books, such as My
Car, Airport, Trucks, Trains, etc. Using bright and colorful block
illustrations that resemble cut paper (but which the book notes were actually
done using Adobe Photoshop™), the text follows a bus trip with bus driver Joe.
As Joe drives around town, he picks up dogs and cats at each bus stop, and then
drops them off at a boat, train, and airplane to continue their journeys
elsewhere. At the end of the day, one dog remains on the bus: Joe’s dog, which
he takes home. Children will enjoy seeing the animals and various modes of
transportation, and parents may appreciate that the book allows practice in basic
counting, addition, and subtraction. My
Bus is a great new edition to Barton’s repertoire and would fit well on any
young child’s bookshelf.
