|summary=What little I know of Patrick Modiano was gained from the number of 'no, we've never heard of him, either' articles and summaries that came our way when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature at the end of 2014. They suggested his oeuvre was mature, slightly thriller-based but not exclusively so, and asked lots of accumulative questions regarding identity with regard to the Vichy government during WWII. Identity is a lot more fixed in this musing little piece, for the adult voice-over looks back over a wide remove, and says there will always be a little bit of her living the events and situations of the book. Those situations are of a young dance-school attendee, and her loving and much-loved father, living a cosy life in Paris – even if the girl never once really works out what it is her father does for a living…

|title=The Bus Is for Us
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=As a child of the 80s I sometimes yearn for an era free from [[Aliens In Underpants Save The World by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort|Aliens in Underpants]] or rough [[The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson|Gruffalos]]. An era of Alan and Janet Ahlberg telling [[Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg|gentle stories]] that had an old fashioned feel, but were still great for the modern kid. Thankfully, I am not the only person out there that craves this as some books are still being produced that describe the simple pleasures such as riding the bus. However, I think that these kids have obviously never tried to catch the Number 9 at rush hour.
