'Please don't chat to the bus driver' written by Shen Roddie and illustrated by Jill Newton was read during last week's final Storytime session at Dimboola Library for the term.

Dimboola's final storytime session was filled with imagination as they created their own buses after reading 'Please don't chat to the bus driver', written by Shen Roddie and illustrated by Jill Newton.

The bus is late, the queues are long, some people wait more patiently than others.

When the bus arrives, everyone is asked "Please don't chat to the bus driver" - but no one can resist just a few words.

Soon the bus driver is so busy listening that things are going wrong.

This may feel like a timely reminder for parents travelling during the school holidays.

The final craft activity for term two saw participants create their own buses with their imagination and a cardboard box.

Hindmarsh Shire Libraries Storytime sessions will return in term three.
