Bunny Bus

PreS-K—The Bunny Bus rolls into town, picking up more and more friends. Yet as the bus gets more crowded, with a "hop, hop, stop!," it becomes overwhelmed with celebrants and must cease its ride. However, the passengers are undeterred and fix up the Bunny Bus and share the load, and the book ends with an Easter parade. The illustrations are adorable and playful. The Bunny Bus's face droops more and more as the weight on the vehicle increases, until the bus stops with a smudged and dirty frowning face that is simultaneously cute and induces an audible sigh of disappointment. The charming spirit of those riding the bus, who pitch in and share the burden, results in a heartwarming message. Paquette's rhyming, repeating text makes this a suitable read-aloud, with audience participation at the refrain of "hop, hop, stop!"
