This is the most precious book! My 2.5 year old is obsessed with it and has every line memorized. It has such a great message and he even loves reading the inspiration behind the book. It’s really taught him a lot and we even say “ you fill me with joy” and it’s just the sweetest moments for us. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!
Boring book
This book is quite dull and repetitive and not worth it
Love this book!
Absolutely love this book. It is so relatable, I mean who hasn't seen a yellow school bus?! The story tells about the changes the bus goes through which is a great discussion starter for children on what other things they have seen change. It is so lovely that the Yellow Bus finds joy in each new change. Such a positive message.
How the author created the story.
Very human and uplifting.
