It’s the end of the school day and three zebra friends are taking the school bus home when it runs out of gas, oh no! But when Chris, the bus driver, cleverly thinks of ways to continue on their jubilant journey, they have an adventure through the mountains, in a gondola, on a log, and on a pirate ship. Will the zebras finally make it home?

This vibrant and whimsical story is a fun and silly read-aloud for families and educators of young children, featuring a playful combination of alliteration and alphabet learning, with individual letters used in rhythmic text across each spread.

Review of A Bus Can’t Drive Empty

Now go back and check out the first letter of each word in the title.

This clever little gem takes the alphabet for a spin with an alliteration-packed adventure that keeps building as you go—pure genius (and pure fun). The story rolls along in a playful way, while the illustrations, with their charmingly childlike “colored-with-care” vibe, feel like something kids could have made themselves. It’s creative, engaging, and totally kid-approved.

I received a copy of this book to share my opinion.
