The Bus Ride

By Marianne Dubuc, Yvette Ghione
The Bus Ride cover



The number 18 bus is filled with various mobile passengers, some who get off, others who get on. Clara easily makes friends with her fellow riders, from a goat who offers her a flower, to a young wolf with whom she shares her snack, to a tiny possum who manages to enjoy her last cookie, to a young boy who helps her save the beaver from being pick-pocketed by the sly fox. So involved is she with all that’s going on, she forgets to count the number of stops. Still, she manages to get off just in time to run into her grandmother’s waiting arms.
