Book #2 My Red Balloon by Yamarla
  This book mentions a bus so we did wheels on the bus

Little Balloon
I had a little balloon (make a circle with hands) That I hugged tight to me (hug self tight)
There was a great big BANG! (clap hands loudly)
No more balloon, you see. if I had this many more (hold up five fingers)
I wouldn’t hug them tight (shake head “no”)
I’d just hold onto the strings (grasp strings)
And fly them like a kite. (raise both arms high)
