Publisher Description

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place—a pigeon! But you’ve never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate.

"This is one of my all time favorite picture books. It is hilarious to all ages because of the facial expressions of the pigeon in the book. He is trying to get the reader to let him drive the bus and it is very interactive by giving the reader a chance to answer him if they so desire. The pigeon goes insane trying to beg you to let him drive it. He is expressive and entertaining. The illustrator did a wonderful job bringing the pigeon to life in that sense."

— Kimberly (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “This picture book demands audience participation…Readers will identify with the pigeon themselves!”

    " This is a great book that engages students immediately. The pictures are relateable to children and would be easy for students to draw as a way to engage in the story and feel involved. The story also leaves space for students to respond. This is a great way for students to experience literature and practice response in a grand conversataion. "

    " If you've got toddlers/early readers, you have to read this series. My daughter and my nieces have loved them all. My daughter is rewriting them so now it's, "Don't Let the Flowerpot Drive the Bus!" and all sorts of silliness. They're a great series and, as an adult, so much fun to read to her. "

    " After I read this I really didn't think it had a purpose. But upon a further look it actually teaches kids how to think and make a good moral decision despite someone trying to make them do the opposite. I'd recommend K-2 for this book. Also could be used to show emotions with art as well. "

    " This picture book is written for primary grades. The illustrations are hand drawn pastels. the words on the pages are hand-written as well. It captivates the reder by asking questions and little kids would answer to them. It doesn't have much of a plot, but the pictures are great. "

    " This book allows students to get involved in the reading and answer "no" when the pigeon keeps begging to drive the bus. He knows he is not supposed to drive the bus, but thinks he can get away with it. Students could draw the pigeon and come up with their own story line for the pigeon. "
