We are reading the safety storybook Bus, Oh! What a Surprise with the kindergarten children and learning about accidents that can happen on kindergarten school buses and important safety promises. It is nice because it gives children who do not ride the kindergarten bus to and from school a chance to experience bus use indirectly. At the end of the story, the school bus safety promises are summarized simply and clearly, so it seems useful at the start of a semester or before a field trip. This

Do your children take the school bus every day? It's field-trip season these days...... Have you talked with your child about bus safety? Aah! What a Surprise! Bus is a picture book that's perfect to keep one copy at home and one at kindergarten or school, read together, and talk about traffic safety education. News reports have sometimes covered sad incidents of children left alone on school buses. There are also stories of dangerous moments when someone tries to retrieve a ball that rolled

I am a teacher who teaches children in the classroom. One essential thing we must teach children is safety education! I feel so sad when I see the children's traffic accidents that keep happening year after year. Children cannot control their behavior the way adults do, and they have a strong self-centered way of thinking, so they cannot quickly recognize the environment around them; these characteristics can also lead to accidents. That is why repeated education is necessary so children can

A squid alien appeared. My little one worries, wondering what if the alien eats the friends, and even before opening the book is already anxious and stamping their feet. I said, “Don’t worry! I’m more worried about the alien,” and my little one glared at Mom. Hahaha. With my little one’s curiosity and interest heightened, we turned through the book together. The child’s expectations had already risen so much from the cover that I think it was easy to read. As the title suggests, this is a

Ride the bus safely! The aliens hid snugly back on the bus. When I see children riding the yellow bus every day, I worry a lot about whether they wear their seat belts inside and whether anything dangerous might happen as they get on and off. There is an escort with them, but it can be dangerous if children have not themselves been taught traffic safety. The book I read with my niece this time, Bus, Oh! What a Surprise, is a book that funnily teaches traffic safety on the buses children use

I read the Jeje Forest picture book Aah! What a Surprise! Bus. It is by Ahn Young-eun, author of How to Wipe a Superhero's Butt, and illustrator Han Ho-jin, who made The Cleaning Rabbit and The Rabbit of Many Moons. Since I like both authors, I really wanted to read it. The spaceship breaks down and aliens fall to Earth. Before they can calm their startled hearts, a yellow monster comes running from far away. The yellow monster the aliens mean is the Haenim Kindergarten bus. The kindergarten

Since my child is cared for at home and does not attend an institution, they had never taken a school bus; wherever we went, we traveled only in Mom and Dad's car, so there was no occasion to ride a bus. But as the child grows, there will be group activities involving charter buses and more chances to use public transportation. Thinking about it, I had never taught bus safety rules, so we learned them this time. Aah! What a Surprise! Bus depicts aliens from the Aat-Kkamjjak-iya star whose

These days I read books to Wani before bed. I heard it stimulates a child’s development, so even when I’m tired I try to read at least two books. When I ask Wani to choose a book to read, the first one they pick is Bus, Oh! What a Surprise. The words “What a surprise!” that Wani likes appear, and it feels familiar because of the Haenim-class kindergarten bus, which seems to make it interesting. Wani goes to school by car, but sometimes rides the bus home with Mom. While reading Bus, Oh! What a

This was a book I really wanted to read with my daughters, who are in the lower elementary grades 🙌🏻. There are no sidewalks on the children’s way to and from school, so we needed material about traffic safety and safety rules even more. The story begins as the cute friends at Haenim Kindergarten hurry over to get on the bus first! The aliens forget that their own spaceship is broken while protecting the Haenim Kindergarten friends from getting hurt. Everyone buckles up, but oh? One friend
