Story
Hopsalot, a kindergarten teacher, takes five of his students, Bebop, Roquefort, Jack, Boo Boo Bunny, and Brie, on a bus ride to different locations. During the trip, the students try to figure out why the bus stops by looking and listening to find clues around them. At each stop, the students also learn about other various concepts. They learn about time at the JumpStart Train Station, vowels at the farm, and rhyming words at the firehouse.
