Customer Reviews

The many stories of a city bus

Next Stop! is a great book to read with your child. The pictures are detailed and can help to create a discussion and stories about what each person is doing on the bus because it carries through the book until the person gets to his/her destination. The repetition of the text and the bright colorful illustrations makes the book enjoyable and holds my son's attention throughout the book and he can't wait to see what will happen on the next page. There is a sweet surprise at the end of the book that will make you hug your child.
