The Dark Blue 100-Ride Bus Ticket


We've just started reading a cool new book by Margaret Mahy. It's called The Dark Blue 100-Ride Bus Ticket. In the book a boy called Carlo is given a special bus ticket by a strange woman called Mrs Christmas, who looks like a Christmas tree! The bus ticket is for the number 13 bus that goes to the supermarket at the end of the world.
After we read the book today we all had a go at drawing the dark blue bus and the passengers on it.


This is my dark blue bus. The passenger at the back is reading one gigantic newspaper. The passenger next to him is a giant bat hanging from the roof. The man in front of him wants to stop the bus because he has to get off. The guy in front of him is wondering if he should have fish and chips or pizza or chinese. The lady in front of him has just seen a flying elephant. 


The crazy kid in front of her is pressing against the window and he’s hypnotised. The chubby fat man in front of him is just staring out the window. In front him is a mutant insect with a chinese hat. Then there’s a giant walking potato chip man. Then  there’s Carlo and his mother. At the front of course there’s the driver. The bus has lots of stars on it. Its number 13. At the top of the back is a jet engine. Its the fastest bus ever.
