Reach for this book when your child is experiencing a case of the 'wiggles' or feels overwhelmed by a sudden burst of high energy they cannot quite control. It is a perfect choice for those days when a normally well-behaved child is struggling to stay grounded or act with their usual level of responsibility. Gus is a reliable, steady school bus who undergoes a personality shift when his tires are over-inflated, causing him to bounce and frolic rather than follow his route. This whimsical story uses the metaphor of physical pressure to explore self-control, the weight of expectations, and the joy of letting loose. It is an ideal read for children aged 4 to 8 who are learning how to balance their spirited energy with the requirements of their daily routines.
