(4) K-3 Illustrated by Salvatore Murdocca. The regular school bus is in the repair shop, and the substitute bus is too small, so driver Mr. Mathers stuffs the seventy-six students under seats, in overhead shelves, etc. Some readers will enjoy testing their addition and subtraction skills as Mathers (pun intended) loads and discharges kids; others may lose patience with keeping count. The crowded cartoon illustrations feature scared-looking children clinging to the roof of a tottery bus.
