Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product 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. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum.

My 2 year old really likes this book. We have actually purchased a few other pigeon books, but this is our favorite. The humour might be aimed at an older age group, but our 2 year old enjoys the funny voices we add to the story. This is a fun book to read outloud.

This book is hilarious! I chaperone my daughter's kindergarten class on a field trip to the library. The librarian read this book aloud to class with a very entertaining voice. The children's interest never ceased with this book. We all laughed and screamed "DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS!!!!" The pigeon will do anything to drive the bus. This is a must have book. I purchased this book and it is one of our family's favorites. The book is so well written that the reader is encouraged to get into character, so to speak. This book is great for young children. My daughter is now in the second grade and this book is way too easy for her, but she enjoys reading it to younger kids. I would recommend this book for reading ages 2 - 5. But entertaining for all ages!

I came across this book when my wife found it on the shelf in a local bookshop.
She read it and encouraged our son to stop dancing around the bookstands and concentrate and read it.
Although he prefers video games he loved it.
When I met up with them, he was so enthusiastic that he persuaded me to read it.
My daughter then loved it when she had stopped looking at 'her favourite books' in the store.
We all appreciated the simple humour of the book and the appreciation of the pigeon's point of view - which was a learning point for all of us.
PS my daughter is 18 and my son 16!

The pigeon throws all the standard tricks to get you to let him drive the bus, you say no a lot, he doesn't drive the bus, everybody's happy. (Except the pigeon, but he's easily distracted.)
This is weird to say, but we *especially* like the endpapers. Mo Willems has great endpapers in his books. The front inside cover shows the pigeon daydreaming about driving a bus, and the last one shows him daydreaming about driving a truck, and for some reason this is The Funniest Thing Ever for the nieces.
This book will tend to hype a kid up. Not recommended for naptime, but definitely great for the more fidgety kids, who get distracted at storytime easily. It *demands* audience participation.

Both my five year old kinder and two year old love this book. Well illustrated and funny enough for an adult to enjoy reading! Recommended.
