BUS! STOP!

James Yang

Few words are needed in this inventive and fun transportation adventure.
"Bus! Stop!" a boy yells, as his bus pulls away one early morning. He must wait for the next bus. But the next one does NOT look like his bus at all. And neither does the next one, or the next. At first, the boy is annoyed. Then he is puzzled. Then intrigued. The other buses look much more interesting than his bus. Maybe he should try a different bus after all, and he's glad he does!

Here is a book with few words and delightful illustrations that shows very young children that trying something a little different can be a lot of fun. Absolutely unique and head-turning look with a distinctive horizontal format and Yang's wonderfully quirky and colorful artwork.

An inventive and fun transportation book for young children; they will love all the crazy kinds of buses (horse-drawn bus, ship bus, balloon bus) that stop for equally amusing passengers. Calls to mind And to Think that We Saw It on Mulberry Street.

Helpful to children: The simple story and subtle message show children that it can be really fun to try something new--and not to get stuck doing or liking just one thing!

James Yang has won over 250 awards for illustration. It's no surprise then that his work was recently chosen by the MTA as a 2017 subway car art poster, visible by thousands of riders every day!

Graphically inventive... Yang's stylized, offbeat characters and "buses" give this story of transportation lost and found a quirky universality.

Weird and delightful... An imaginative, fun ode to bus travel and its many minor surprises.
