This book is absolutely hilarious. If you are going to teach speech bubbles, voice, or punctuation, the whole series is wonderful to use. ( )

A few too many apostrophes for an early-reader, but a fun real-aloud. ( )

This book is a big hit at story hour, with the children actively telling the pigeon 'No! You can't drive the bus!' The pigeon begges the kids to let him drive the bus but kids are not suppose to, so they scream and yell, 'NO.'

The school bus driver tells us not to let the pigeon drive the bus. The pigeon is trying to convince us, the readers, to let him drive the school bus. The illustrations are very comical and draw the reader into the story. The pigeon begged and pleaded and it is up to the reader to decide if he can drive the bus or not. It is very interactive.

Simple, cartoon-like illustrations that tell a humourous story about a pigeon who wants to drive a bus. ( )

Book description
The pigeon dreams of driving a bus, but the bus driver enlists the reader to keep the pigeon out of the driver’s seat. The book progresses as the pigeon wheedles and readers get to say, “No!” – putting the children in the driver’s seat themselves. Other books include Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! (a bedtime book that gets loud in the middle and gradually quieter/darker) and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog (not as good, IMO, dealing with sharing when a duckling wants the pigeon’s coveted hot dog). These books address issues of power and necessity at a preschool level, as well as being hilariously written and engagingly illustrated in a comic-book style.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 078681988X, Hardcover)

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum.
