This story allows children to enjoy a laugh and funny story about a persistent pigeon. This text introduces students to the idea of wise decision making in a fun and entertaining way. ( )

This book is about a pigeon who will do anything to convince the reader to let him ride the bus, even though he was strictly told not to. This book does not have very many words, but the illustrations are engaging.

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.
