Overview

Secret Adventures of the School Bus introduces readers to Steven the Schoolbus, a cheerful, yellow, larger-than-life character with a personality as bright as his paint. Children may think they already know what a school bus does-but this story reveals the surprising, playful world he enjoys when he isn't picking up students or driving through town. While the kids are busy learning and playing at school, Steve spends his free time exploring hobbies he loves: planting sunny fields of sunflowers, caring for bees who make the honey he needs for lemonade, enjoying a well-earned bath with his rubber duck, and even catching a taxi back to school after a big meal leaves him too full to drive. Told in gentle rhyme and paired with colorful illustrations, this story celebrates imagination, curiosity, and the fun found in everyday routines. Young readers follow Steve tne Schoolbus through activities that introduce simple early-learning concepts such as plant growth, where honey comes from, sequencing, and cause-and-effect-all while enjoying a lighthearted, character-driven adventure. The playful rhythm and bright imagery make this book ideal for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary readers, whether used for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or library story time. As part of the Secret Adventures Series, this title encourages children to wonder what their everyday helpers-like buses, trucks, and more-might do when no one is watching. Each book in the series blends imagination with friendly, expressive characters and a soft educational thread that supports early literacy, color recognition, and creative thinking. Families, teachers, and librarians can also access free printable resources based on the story, including coloring pages, early-learning worksheets, activity prompts, and classroom extensions, available at SAGA Storytime. These supplemental materials make the book an engaging launch point for lessons about nature, community helpers, and imaginative play. Secret Adventures of the School Bus offers a joyful, gently educational adventure that highlights the magic hidden during ordinary days-and with the everyday vehicles children see all around them.
