When the Bus was Late book cover

What's the book about?

Jackson is always running late and a bit muddled, but that turns out to be very helpful when the morning bus finally arrives and everything starts going wrong. A dog in the road, lost keys, spilled money, and broken glasses make the trip feel very topsy-turvy. Using his quick thinking and some clever ideas, Jackson helps everyone solve their problems and shows that being a little different can be a really good thing.

This book is about
The bus was late and there were 3 accidents in the bus and Jackson helped all of them.

The main characters are
The bus driver, Jackson, Mr Parkinson and Mrs Watson.

My favourite part of the book is
When Jackson used his lollipop to stick the bank notes together.

I would also like to say
That I would like to solve problems like Jackson did.

This book is about
The bus is late and when it arrives the people get on. A dog is in the middle of the road so it has to stop quickly. Mrs. Watson's keys go behind the back seat, Mr. Parkinson's money goes on the floor and the driver's glasses break. Jackson helps to get the keys and money back and to fix the glasses.

The main characters are
Mrs. Watson, Mr. Parkinson, Jackson and the bus driver.

My favourite part of the book is
The bit when the keys get losted behind the back seat, the driver's glasses break and the money falls out of the briefcase.

I would also like to say
I hope you like the book when you get to read it!
