Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is a great read aloud book by Mo Willems. The reader is given the task of keeping pigeon from driving a bus. The pigeon pleads, begs, lies, offers bribes, makes up stories all in the attempt to drive the bus. Each time the pigeon asks to drive the bus the reader must tell the pigeon, No!

Kids love the opportunity to participate in this story, and they seem to like it better each time they read the story. Mo Willems pictures are very simple, but highly entertaining. I give this book a gigantic thumbs up!

Mo Willems has a great web page about all his work located at:
