About The Book

Jay-Jay the bus is rescued from the dirty scrap yard, where he was sadly gathering dust and cobwebs. Feeling nervous yet excited, he is taken to an airport where he is magically transformed into a ‘Playbus’ full of toys, games and adventure.

A fictional tale based on a real life bus ‘Supersonic’, which flew in the imaginations of the many young children who visited it.

Book Beginning

"This one! This is the bus we want!"
It had been a while since Jay-Jay had felt wanted. He remembered how he had once been just an ordinary bus taking passengers on their many journeys. JJK 261 Route B

"He had been invited to Buckingham Palace where he was going to receive a special award for all of his hard work."

Review

Saved from a distressing situation, Jay-Jay overhears that the deal is complete. No, he won't be broken up into pieces. He's happy to know he'll no longer be lonely in the scrap yard again. He has felt in-significant for quite sometime now staying in a place where old buses go. Things are different now because he has been taken to an airport where exciting changes are magically beginning to transform Jay-Jay into a Playbus. The two things close to Jay-Jay's heart, children and the love of playing, give him renewed purpose. Come along for the journey and read about tea sets and dress up clothes. Plus, there's toys and games and a train track inside. The illustrations are warm and charming. You'll discover the newly painted bus with bright colors has a new name, Jay-Jay The Supersonic Bus and he proudly receives an award from the Queen. New imaginative adventures begin with a play group for the younger children on the famous playbus. Such a nice story. My grandchildren love it!

5/5 stars. Recommend to friends.

My grandson is 7 and is a good reader. He enjoyed the book and could easily read it to himself. He chose to read aloud to his younger brother who kept pointing to the bus!

"Which three animals are hiding?"

Review

The book begins with counting the letter A's. Children are such great visual learners, and right away the author asks the question, "Can you see any letter B's?" The repetitive pattern to learning here is 'See' and 'Count.' It's educational, fun and very engaging. Kids will make a huge connection with many adorable animals, plus easy to read letters and numbers. Boys and girls will especially like the hippo, iguana, newt, meerkat and unicorns. I know my 5 grandchildren are delighted with the book and I really like the bright colorful illustrations. The dimensional textures are great! It's a good message for early readers to discover on their own and share aloud with brothers/sisters. The ending is quite exciting in finding hidden animals on the pages. I've looked at tons of counting books and this one is top notch! I highly recommend for home and school library. Parents and grandparents get this one. You won't be disappointed.

5/5 stars. Recommend to friends.
