A positive book for children
By Danielle – 15 Jan. 2015 There are many books written for children that are focused solely around the entertainment value. However, this book far surpasses what any parent could want for their child regarding a fun and pleasurable storyline. Beatrice and the London Bus teaches children the beauty of dreaming and encourages them to not just look at who they are today, but who they can one day become. Many parents, whether purposely of not, tend to limit their children in one way or another with respect to fulfilling their dreams, but this story will give any child a sense of hope in becoming anything they want to be and that they can achieve any amount of greatness they desire.

The perfect addition to every child’s book collection!
By Arleen Watson – 15 Jan 2015 This is an enchanting and delightful story about a young girl who wants to drive a Routemaster bus – 168 via Waterloo through London. She doesn’t only want to drive the bus, but she wants to see the sights, learn about culture and people and simply embark upon a “once in a lifetime” journey. So many people are afraid to dream, but Beatrice reignites the desire to dream for each person finding themselves turning the pages of this great read.

A veritable mental eye opener pleasure to make your acquaintance …
By Rock Rambler on 18 Jan. 2015 A veritable mental eye opener pleasure to make your acquaintance Beatrice,and your personality replete, Tiramisu loving BF; Bus No.168 via Waterloo.Dedicated to all twinkle eyed little and ‘big’ people with dreams and aspirations no matter how outlandish they may sound to ‘normal’ people A bit of imagination never killed anyone in fact it might just save your life . Whilst primarily a book for children, it appeals to the inner ‘child’ in all of us before we somehow become indoctrinated into ‘the way life just is’. I for one will never look at a London Bus in the same light again , nor a red telephone box to name another ; Let’s just look at them as transporters on whatever level one wishes to engage with them on ; mundane , celestial or parallel Universe :).There but for the fertile imagination of Beatrice enriched B& W to neon colour go us all ….See you en Routemaster @ juicy sequels to come into a secret magic world .. Please be sure to bring your magic glasses as you board the Party Tour Bus.

Great reading for children!
By James Bedford – 24 Dec. 2014 I first came across this book while babysitting my Grandchildren. I didn’t like the fact that they were just sitting watching the television all the time. Far too many children sit in front of the TVtele these days, glued to the children’s programs. A friend recommended this book to me and as I read it I knew that this story was just perfect for my grandchildren. The story centres on a lovely young girl in London and like many young girls her age she is just wanting some fun and excitement in her life. She dreams of being a London bus driver, but not just any old bus driver, she wants to drive the 168 via Waterloo Routemaster bus through London. Her journey takes in all the wonderful sites that this historic, yet modern city has available and turns into a very pleasant tale about a young schoolgirl’s dreams and adventures in London with her Routemaster bus. So all in all, I found it a great, very educational and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get children involved in reading or who wants to spend some time with their children or grandchildren.

Divertentissimo! Consiglio questo libro a tutti!
Di Rita Marcangelo – il 3 gennaio 2015 Ho comprato questo libro per le mie bambine a Natale. Che piacevole sopresa la storia di questa bambina che sogna di diventare una conducente di bus. Ambientato nella Londra dei nostri giorni, il libro è divertentissimo per piccoli e grandi, ironico con situazioni piene di fantasia e tanti personaggi intelligenti e particolari, ma e’ anche molto istruttivo perchè insegna ai bambini a non arrendersi mai difronte alle avversità, a perseguire i propri sogni e a superare gli ostacoli che anche i più piccoli possono affrontare nella vita. Personaggi pieni di verve come il Bus Parlante, Lunedi, la Mappa della Gran Bretagna, Mr Cecco, Mark e ovviamente Beatrice sono indimenticabili. Lo vedrei anche come un film. Lo consiglio a tutti.
