10 Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break

10 Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break if You Want to Survive the School Bus
By John Grandits


Grandits, John. 10 Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break If You Want to Survive the School Bus. Boston: Clarion Books, 2011.

Little Kyle is riding the bus for the first time.  His big brother James gives him a list of ten rules to follow in order to survive the school bus.  Through his ride on the bus, he manages to break them all.  Kyle discovers that his big brother isn't always right.  Grandits writes an exciting tale about riding the bus to school for the first time.  Michael Allen Austin's illustrations provide humor and detail to everything Kyle experiences on his first ride on the bus to school.  

"Worthy of being shelved next to Jon Scieszka’s funniest."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 

"The large, full-page acrylic illustrations constantly shift perspectives and points of view, adding energy, vivacity, and animation... Seasoned bus riders, and anyone who has been misguided by an older sibling’s advice, will certainly enjoy this outrageously humorous, well-told story."School Library Journal, starred review
