PS
A boy just misses his city bus; the ones that come along next are increasingly odd ("THAT is NOT my bus"). Finally, a spaceship-like carrier is the perfect bus for the boy. With muted background colors, Yang draws readers' eyes to the action involving stylized characters and outlandish vehicles. Simple speech-balloon dialogue makes this just the right ride for both pre-readers and emerging readers.
