Grace and her mama stand at the bus stop. The sun is warm. The breeze is soft. "Where is the bus?" says Mama. Grace looks down the wide road. She wiggles her toes. She is ready!
Rumble, rumble, rumble! Here it comes! A big, shiny red bus rolls down the road. It is so big! The wheels go round and round. The bus slows down. Sssssss! The bus stops right at the bench.
The doors open wide — whoooosh! "In we go!" says Mama. The bus driver smiles and waves. Grace sees three big steps. One step, two steps, three steps — up, up, up! Good job, Grace!
Grace and Mama find a seat. The seat is soft and blue. Mama says, "Hold on tight, Grace!" Grace holds the silver bar in front of her. Beep, beep! The doors close. The bus begins to move!
The bus rolls past the park. Grace looks out the big, wide window. She sees green grass and tall swings. Ding, ding! The bus stops. The doors open wide. A friendly neighbor gets on. "Hello!" says Grace.
The bus rolls on. Bump, bump, bump! Grace bounces in her seat. She wiggles. She giggles. She dances her hands up high! The bus is like music — bump, bump, bump!
Ding, ding! The bus stops again. The doors open wide. Another friendly neighbor climbs the steps — one, two, three! "Hello!" says Grace. She waves and waves. The bus rolls on.
The bus rolls past the pond. Grace sees ducks! "Quack, quack!" she says. The water sparkles in the sun. Ding, ding! The bus stops. The doors open wide. One more friendly neighbor gets on. "Hello!" says Grace.
Oh no! The bus stops fast — screeeech! Grace feels wobbly. She tips forward. But Mama holds her close. "It is okay, Grace. Hold on tight to the silver bar. That keeps us safe and steady." Grace holds on. She feels better now.
The bus rolls on, nice and slow. Grace holds the silver bar. She feels safe. She bounces just a little. Bump, bump, bump! When you ride a bus, you hold on tight. And if you feel wobbly, that is okay. Someone who loves you is right there.
The bus rolls past the cozy library. Grace sees the little red door. Ding, ding! This is their stop! The bus stops. The doors open wide. Mama says, "Say bye-bye!" Grace waves to the bus driver. "Bye-bye, bus!"
The big, shiny red bus rumbles away down the wide road. Grace watches it go. So many places to see. So many rides to take. Tomorrow, the bus will come again. And Grace will be ready — toes wiggling, hands dancing, heart full of wonder.
