It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! is a very basic “first day of school jitters” story, but this time it is told from the buses point of view. Claire Messner has created the illustrations showing the reader (slowly as you go along) the apprehension growing on the face of the bus. This is a cute touch and makes it realistic.

Jody Jensen Shaffer has text that also sounds like a child a bit nervous. Will the kids like them? Will they make friends? And so forth. The fact the bus is having the same possible fears as the child makes it relatable. However, of course this theme has been done before, yet, this being a new book, it just means it is “that theme” for this generation.
There is nothing bad about this book. It is a simple and cozy book. Perhaps I would have liked more details with the illustrations, but what is there is sunny and fits the mood, theme and the text well.
Not having children, I do wonder how relevant is the child taking a bus to school these days? I know the elementary school in my town offers this service, but not the preschools or daycares. The feel and tone of the book is aimed at the toddler to preschool set. Perhaps this could bring about discussions how different people go to school. And you can also have it as a starting point that everyone can be a little nervous about this new adventure.r has text that also sounds like a child a bit nervous. Will the kids like them?
