Bloom, Susan The Bus for Us. 32 pgs. Boyds Mills Press, 2013. $6.95. PICTURE BOOK. Tess is about to start school and experience riding a school bus for the very first time. In her excitement with each passing vehicle she asks her friend, “Is that the bus for us Gus?” Tess and Gus see a taxi, a tow truck, a fire engine, an ice cream truck and other vehicles while they wait to go to school. Will they school bus ever come? Each page gives the reader a hint at which vehicle will come next.
