I’m Feeling School Bus Yellow! Is about a yellow Crayola crayon who goes to school. He (or she) talks about different colors used at school for certain tasks and how it makes him feel. He then follows up with the question about how those activities make the reader feel. For example, he talks about coloring with a macaroni and cheese crayon. He says that color is warm and comforting, which he likes to feel when he writes. Then he asks “What colors make you feel warm and comfortable?”
School Bus Yellow is a cute book about feelings, as well as having a fun spin on color names. The Crayola insignia is on the front cover, and the crayon characters all look like the trademarked Crayola crayons. It makes sense that it uses the wild and silly Crayola color names that Crayola normally uses on their crayons. I like that it addresses feelings for children. This book would be an excellent tool for parents hoping to open up conversations with their children about how they feel at school.
