A fabulous book. Granny Franny is a great character, every child would love a granny like her. She takes her grandchildren on a big red bus to see the sights of London for a birthday treat. As a granny myself, it reminded me of playing 'buses' with my own grandchildren when they were younger. Maybe the Big Red Bus could do future trips around some other places. Big, bright illustrations and a story told in rhyme, makes this a really fun book to encourage children to make their own 'buses' and go on their own adventures.

Inspired by her own experience of learning to be a bus driver, the author has created a lively and colourful story that is full of fun. The illustrations are a delight and even the font is bright and bold. It is lovely that the book was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the proceeds going to charity.
