Hello, School Bus!

Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting transition of riding the big yellow bus for the first time. Whether they are vibrantly excited or quietly anxious, this story helps bridge the gap between home and school by turning a mechanical vehicle into a friendly, sensory-filled character. The book follows the rhythmic journey of a school bus as it picks up children, navigates the neighborhood, and arrives at the schoolhouse doors. With its simple, rhyming text and bright illustrations, it focuses on the predictable routine of the ride, which is often the most mysterious part of the school day for a preschooler. It is a perfect tool for normalizing the noise and movement of the bus while reinforcing the idea that the bus is a safe, joyful community space that leads to a day of learning and fun.
