Book Bus Magic

Tyler doesn’t share the same excitement as his older siblings about stepping onto the book bus. Once inside, though, he discovers the enchantment of reading when he meets woodland friends, soars with a mighty dragon, and boards a train that chugs over a steep, rugged mountain. Imagination, along with a little book magic, fills every page.

Patricia Atchison's enchanting tale, brought to life with vibrant illustrations by The Seeding Readers Crew, will inspire every child to find the magic within their imagination when opening and reading a book.
