Why read it?

1 author picked The Very Bumpy Bus Ride as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This simple story indirectly shows how even when things don’t go as planned, it can all turn out well in the end. It is told in a way that is funny and fun to read, using the same phrases over and over to help kids learn to read. They even chant along with me when I read it to them.

From Rae's list on funniest books for kids.
