In The News

"With a quick-paced gait, the rhyming verse celebrates every stop Bunny Bus makes...Illustrator Withrow's bright characters are reminiscent of Richard Scarry's, with jolly animals dressed in their Sunday best, resplendent with plaids, patterns, and purses." —Kirkus

"Featuring cheerful, colorful art, rhyming text, cute animal characters, and an animated bunny-shaped bus,
this upbeat Easter-themed read is a playful secular take on the holiday...The detailed, Richard Scarry–like illustrations, incorporating varied textures and patterns, cartoonish touches, and springlike hues, have childlike charm and appeal, as do the brightly attired animal characters and expressive bus, perky ears, fluffy tail, and all. Playful details throughout and decorative endpapers with an embellished egglike motif add further flair to this entertaining celebration of the springtime holiday."—Booklist

"The illustrations are adorable and playful...The charming spirit of those riding the bus, who pitch in and share the burden, results in a heartwarming message. Paquette’s rhyming, repeating text makes this a suitable read-aloud, with audience participation at the refrain of “hop, hop, stop!” VERDICT For libraries looking to diversify their holiday collections." —School Library Journal

"Withrow’s scraggly pencils, lined-paper backdrops, and splashes of color and pattern create an exuberant atmosphere that’s only briefly interrupted when the overloaded bus temporarily breaks down, sending carrots and painted eggs flying. It’s a novel spin on familiar Easter themes." —Publishers Weekly
