The Big Red Bus
William Benedict
Bold illustrations with speech balloons and a dramatic double gatefold give an extra-special dimension to this entertaining cumulative story about a traffic jam caused by a hole in the road. A succession of brightly coloured vehicles and their exasperated drivers pile up one by one behind the big red bus in a clearly told, lively story. Finally, a tractor arrives to clear the jam and road menders arrive to fill in the hole (nice to see a female road mender!). Now the road is clear for cyclists and rabbits to take advantage of the newly smooth, empty highway. Ideal for storytelling time.
