What child wouldn't enjoy a hilarious adventure that almost ends in disaster for some flamingos and a squirrel? When 5 ducks all think they are ready to drive the bus it seems they might have some things to learn. In Who is Ready to Drive The Big Blue Bus? young readers are invited into the vibrant world of Featherfield Farm to meet a delightful cast of duck charaters, each with their own unique personalities, big feelings, and distinct ways of exploring the world around them.
When an exciting opportunity arises to take the wheel, each duck finds out that driving is not just about steering but it's about self-regulation, patience and teamwork. They each recognise the emotions that guide their behaviours and learn some tools to help them along the way.
Written by experienced educator and counsellor Wendy L Magill, and charmingly brought to life with illustrations by Turina Marchant, this story is designed to empower young learners to:
- Identify and understand big emotions in themselves and others
- Practice self-regulation and constructive social behaviours.
- Celebrate individuality, recognising that everying has something special to contribute.
Whether read aloud in the classroom, shared at home at storytime, or used as a teaching tool for emotional literacy, Who is Ready to Drive the Big Blue Bus? is an uplifting addition to every young adventurer's bookshelf. Look for the Featherfield Farm Colouring and Activity Fun (Mini Book) as an exellent companion to this story book.
