2003 🏆😒😻😢🥹🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩This book is a TIMELESS CLASSIC. The way the pidgeon is consistently side eyeing and getting into trouble with the simple thought bubbles that show its emotions is halarious. Not only is it captivating to read but also to look at. I am sat.

This is a fun children's book that falls within the genre of picture books. It was published in 2003 and received the Caldecott Medal for how engaging and interactive the story is. The illustrations are extremely humorous and encourage children to participate. In the book, the Piegon, who is very persuasive, wants to desperately drive the bus.
