School takes on a fun new twist as this cute little school bus heads into a quick, short classroom adventure.

The Itsy Bitsy School Bus is on his way to school, and he discovers that it's a lot of fun. Each page offers one rhymed line based on the classic, The Itsy Bitsy Spider. But unlike the spider, the school bus is a story with sheer joy and fun.

At sixteen pages, this is a short, quick read. It's stable and small enough for small fingers and to take a few hard bumps or spills. Each page holds a very bright and warm illustration, giving off an encouraging feeling as the school bus ventures through a day of school. It's cheery, cute and encouraging.

Each two-page spread offers one line which can fit into the tune of the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Only the last two lines are a little stumbley when trying to be sung and could use some practice first. But then, it might not be intended to sing along. Although considered a twist on the original classic rhyme, the adventures the school bus has have nothing in common with that of the spider's. Still, it's a cute story on its own, one kids are sure to enjoy.

The vocabulary is easy enough for even younger listeners to understand, and the school buses adventure is kept extremely simple. It's a sweet read which goes by quick. It catches attention and is great to flip through and just look at the illustrations. It simply a fun, cute, sweet read.

I received a complimentary copy and found it so sweet that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts. ( )
