Kiki Goes on a Bus Ride — A Travel & Kindness Story | Shalvit Kids TV Storybook No. 67
Honk, honk — here comes the BIG yellow bus! 🚌💛
Today is the day Kiki has been dreaming of: her very first ride on a great big bus! Join Kiki and Mummy on a joyful trip across town to Aunty Funmi's house — waiting safely at the bus stop, watching the cars go by, and then… around the corner… THE YELLOW BUS! Kiki greets the driver ("Good morning, Mr Driver!"), holds her very first ticket, sits down and holds on tight, counts five stops through the window — and then comes the moment that makes this story unforgettable: a sweet grandma climbs aboard, and there is no seat left. Kiki's heart goes thump-thump… and she gives Grandma her seat. "God bless you, my kind child!" 💛 With its sunshine refrain — "Rolling, rolling — off we go, safely to and fro!" 🎵 — this is the bus-ride story that teaches safety and kindness in one beautiful journey.
Every safety rule a little traveller needs is woven right into the adventure: waiting back from the road, holding Mummy's hand to climb on and off, sitting down and holding on, quiet inside voices, waiting until the bus stops all the way — and crossing the road the safe way: look LEFT, then RIGHT, then LEFT again.
