(3) PS Whenever young Patty drives her big red bus, she has the most fantastic adventures in the city, in outer space, etc. While Patty describes her brave deeds, the illustrations depicting her fantasies show Patty's younger sister looking at her admiringly and quietly saving the day. The book is winning, and the subtext about Patty's sense of superiority to her sister is a hoot.
