Dig Dig Digging by Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe

Where’s the Bus? by Eileen Browne & James Croft
Where’s The Bus? is a gentle, amusing story about two friends waiting for a bus. As readers we notice far more than the two characters, Rabbit and Mouse, who are mystified by the lack of buses arriving!
