Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus


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

This simple book is so true to life as anyone who interacts with young children. At the beginning of this book the bus driver must leave for a bit and asks the reader to not let the pigeon drive the bus. As the pigeon begins to ask if he can drive the bus he is obviously told no by the readers. After this the pigeon begins to escalate into even more silly bargaining. He gives excuses to the fact that he never gets to do anything and that he has never done it before so he could just steer. As the reader continues to say no, he says its not fair and that their mother would probably let him. He finally goes crazy losing his feathers, and eyeballs popping that he screams "LET ME DRIVE THE BUS!!" but the bus driver comes back just in time.
