“Hi! Im the bus driver. Listen, Ive got to leave for a little while, so can you watch things for me until I get back?“
“Hi! Im the bus driver. Listen, Ive got to leave for a little while, so can you watch things for me until I get back?“
I would use this book in my classroom for entertainment purposes. The book starts with the bus driver asking the audience to watch the bus and make sure the pigeon doesn't drive the bus.
This book uses space to convey meaning. This draws the audiences attention to the pigeon and the bus which is the main focus point of the book. It allows for the readers to understand the emotions of the pigeon.
This book is very interactive for young readers as they are able to feel transported into the story as the Pigeon pleads for wanting to drive the bus.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems was published in 2003 and won the Caldecott Medal in 2004. This fun interactive book shares a story about the Pigeon wanting to drive the bus. Pigeon comes up with various reasons to drive the bus but the reader keeps telling Pigeon “No!“

Review:
This is a very visually enertaining book with great illustrations of a pigeon trying their best to drive a bus. The story is easy to follow along and the illustrations connect well. The text and font also changes to follow the story and makes it an enjoyable to read book
Blurb:
This book would be great for students of a younger age (pre-k to 2nd). They can follow along with the photos easily.

Absolutely true for me, but you know what, I don't care cos life is chaos and curve balls. I've finally reached the age when I can embrace life for what it is, impractical, inconvenient, irritating but always fabulous and fun. Even on the dark days. Set your ducks free and stop striving for perfection in everything.
I really enjoyed the font of the text that the author decided to use in the book. It is easy to follow and does not have too many words, but is still very lighthearted and entertaining to read. The setup of the book is perfect for younger aged children.
This is a a story about a pigeon that tries its best in convincing you to let it drive the bus! It is a very humorous and entertaining book that would be great for younger audiences, or used as an example to show how to provide supporting details in a writing piece.
I love the part when the reader yells no at the pigeon to not drive the bus.
Don‘t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Is a Caldecott Medal award winning book. Who doesn‘t love a story about a pigeon trying to convince you to let him drive a bus! A really fun and humorous book!
I like how this book is written to where the pigeon is talking to whoever is reading or being read to. I like how it uses persuasive writing and you could use this book to highlight what that means.
A silly and fun book to read to little children!
“Let's play a game, it's called, Drive the Bus!“ it's so funny!
I read these books growing up as well. These are great for just fun read-alouds and good for practicing predictions. These would also be so fun in the classroom when children are learning how to read more independently.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Mo Willems, 2003, Caldecott. This book takes us through a pigeon trying to convince the reader to let him drive the bus. He tries a lot of different tactics to make you want to give in, but we never do!
This book was a great read for children! It has a funny plot and it will for sure make the kids laugh. This whole series is very similar but great for kids.
