Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
By Mo Willems
Publisher: Walker Books, 32 pages
The pigeon gets a mad gleam in his eye when a bus driver leaves his bus unattended for a while. "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" is what we're told, but pigeon is determined to get behind the wheel so he begs, cajoles, lies and gets more and more hysterical as it becomes increasingly obvious that he's not gonna be allowed anywhere near the bus. Pigeon's expressions are hilarious - he should get his own TV show and I'd love to see him as a talk show host! The page with pigeon fantasising about being a bus driver is the greatest! Mo Willems is the creator of Sheep in the Big City. Other Pigeon titles are The Pigeon Finds a Hotdog!, and boardbooks The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too!" and The Pigeon Loves Things That Go!
