Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

Willems, Mo (2003). Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!. New York, NY: Hyperion Books for Children.

After the driver of the bus leaves for a while, he asks the readers for one thing: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" But the pigeon REALLY wants to drive. He's so desperate that he will settle for just sitting in the bus and steering. He finally gets fed up and looses his temper and yells, "LET ME DRIVE THE BUS!!!" A preschooler could definitely relate to the tantrum pigeon throws :)

The pictures are simple and funny. Line drawings of the pigeon are the only image on most of the pages. Pages are of a neutral tone and subtle. Overall, it is well illustrated and gives ALL the attention to the attention seeking pigeon!
