Original Book on African Storybook: Big blue bus (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at the bus stop to notice how Ebei and the other passengers react. At the ending, invite your child to compare what Ebei expected with what he is glad to have.
- Themes
- Adapting when plans change: Ebei expects a big blue bus, worries when it does not arrive, and boards a small red bus instead. The ending favours the chance to travel over the bus’s expected colour or size.
- Worth knowing
- Ebei becomes worried and cries while the bus is missing; other passengers complain, and some give up and go home. The story then moves towards a hopeful journey.
