We have a new favorite book in our house, the absolutely delightful I’m Your Bus. I read it to Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn sits and pages through it while telling herself her version of the story, I’ve even made my boys listen to me read it. I love it, can you tell? Synopsis:
Get ready for a rip-roaring, rhyming ride that celebrates all things drivin’ with a special spotlight on a kid’s four-wheeled best buddy–his school bus! When you’re a kid, your school bus can be your very best friend. Morning, noon, and nighttime, too, that golden buddy is at your service. Ready to drive you and your friends to and from school!
Aimed at readers from Pre-K through 3rd grade, this book has a unique story and charming illustrations. From morning pick up through mid-day field trips to afternoon drop off, I’m Your Bus shows school buses as a safe, friendly place to be. Reading this book with your child might help alleviate any concerns about riding the bus. Here’s a peek at one of the pages:
“Watch those backpacks coming through. Have fun today. Learn something new. Later we’ll come back for you. Hailey, Michael, Hannah, Russ, see you later. I’m Your Bus.
From morning pick up to midday field trips to afternoon drop off, I’m Your Bus shows school buses as safe, friendly and caring. Reading this book to your child might alleviate any concerns they have about riding the bus to school.

I’ve been a huge fan of Scholastic for years! I don’t think I’ve ever been to their website before today though. I know my son will have fun on their Family Playground section (which is a 2008 NAPPA Gold winner I see).

From their site I really liked all the ideas they had for the restless reader. To find something to read that interests them. Some children like reading about real things so non-fiction would be good for some and you don’t have to finish every book you start. All great ideas. #1

I would be winning for my son who is 6 years old. He starts Kindergarten after I held him back for an extra year home.
He will not be riding the bus this year. I will drive and pick up.

My daughter is who would get this book if I won and she is 5 and just entering kindergarten this year. She will spilt most of her time riding the bus and being driven by me.
I am an email subscriber.
Things I learned from site #1 – About involved with kindergarten, I liked their tip about getting to the know the principal. I figured the teacher, but never thought to go higher.
I learned from the site #2 – I read their Here Comes Kindergarten article and remembered that I should work on sharing with my daughter more. She might have a bit of a problem with that since she is mostly home with me during the day.
I learned from the website #3 – A LOT of great tips for clothes and back to school shopping. It is under their Dress for Success in School article.
This would be great for my 7 year old step-daughter. She does ride the bus to school.

Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. She should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help
