Gus, the Dinosaur Bus by Julia Liu - ADVISABLE

Liu, Julia Gus, the Dinosaur Bus, Illustrated by Bei Lynn, PICTURE BOOK. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2012. $12.99. Content: G

What little kid wouldn’t love to ride a giant dinosaur to school instead of a bus? Gus is a big hit with the kids, but his big body knocks down houses and causes traffic jams so the principal makes a big decision to pull Gus off the bus route. Just when Gus thinks he’s no use to the school, he surprisingly finds a way to entertain the children. The story is cute and the illustrations are sophisticated yet have a child-like quality.
