The Yellow Bus

The back story of how the book was envisioned and developed is just as interesting as the book , which is saying a lot.I was searching for a school bus book for my bus loving 2 yr old granddaughter . Seems all preschoolers love school buses, and I caught a clip of this book being reviewed on 60 Minutes along with the video of the author building the set and writing/ illustrating this to-be classic . It’s a story of eternal optimism , blooming where you happen to be and everything will turn out fine . It carries the child through the productive life of a happy school bus doing important work in the community for diverse groups of people. The ending is joy itself.And don’t miss the video online of the back story with author/ illustrator explaining and showing his workshop of the giant replica of scenes in the book that he built for reference in painting the pages.A classic.

Beautiful, tender and profound.

"THe Yellow Bus" is a wonderful children's book. It is beautifully illustrated and has a beautiful story line. My students in kindergarten absolutly loved this book and wanted to hear it over and again. I reccomend this book to anyobne with young children.

Sweetest book about one of a child's favorite vehicles. I love the story and illustrations in the book and the way the author wrote it. ❤️

This has been a great first book! Our 1 year old tries to find the yellow bus on each page and has learned to point it out. Great for reading readiness. The message is reminiscent of the Giving Tree. Sweet story, but the illustrations are what endeared the book to me.

This book is absolutely gorgeous from the storyline to the illustration. Love love love it

This is a charming book with a sweet concept. It is beautifully illustrated, pleasing both child and adult.

I am a big fan of Loren Long's writing and illustrations, and he has hit another one out of the park! I especially loved the back matter that explained his process and inspiration for this story. Compelling!
