Bug on the Bus

Catrow’s style suggests chaos at every corner, yet he keeps the frenzied activities contained within his hairy watercolors. It’s an impressive accomplishment on every level. A brilliantly simple paean to short vowels.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The text uses simple sentences with a repeating format and structure, and the vibrant and colorful mixed media and watercolor illustrations bring emotion and movement to the story.
—School Library Journal

Colorful pencil, watercolor, and ink illustrations full of energy give lots of detail and playfully extend the storytelling with visual gags. With a fun, entertaining story tidily composed of the easiest ofwords, this beginning reader is a fantastic recommendation for emerging readers who need something achievable and want a silly story at the same time.
