Illustrated by
Ricardo Gamboa.
Despite overcrowding and protests, a bus driver keeps letting more passengers on his bus--a woman with a bag full of chickens, a boy with a llama, and a man with a bundle of hay on his back (to name a few)--until a chain reaction causes the driver to crash into a ditch. Gamboa's cartoon illustrations add to the chaotic mood of Silvano's tame story.
