When Arthur and Buster fall asleep on their first bus trip alone, they wake to find themselves at the end of the line with no return fare. They make it back thanks to a little bit of courage and a benevolent bus driver. Brown tells about Arthur's gentle adventure in a text composed almost entirely of dialogue and cartoon-style illustrations that are characteristically homey.
