Follow the red bus along the road as it is joined by a red car, a yellow car, a yellow van, an orange van ... and soon the road is filled with a sequence of cars, trucks and buses.

Within its steadily unfolding street scenes is the story of a mother and her son who miss the bus and are then helped by a kind-hearted stranger, while the man running for the bus at the end opens up a fresh new narrative. Within the (collage) illustrations are interesting and fun explorations of shape, texture, numbers and letters, while the text presents a tongue-twisting read.
