Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!
Written and Illustrated by: Mo Willems
Genre: Fantasy
Grades: K-3
Awards: Caldecott Honor
This is a fun book that interacts with the reader. There is a bus driver that has to step away for a bit, but there is also a pigeon that desperately wants to drive the bus. The bus driver tells the reader to not let the pigeon drive the bus while he is away. The pigeon talks to the reader and try to convince the reader to let him drive the bus. The pigeon tells the reader that the pigeon will steer and that his cousin drives a bus almost every day, trying to support his idea. The pigeon tells the reader that he would pay five bucks, that the reader's mom would let him drive, that he'll be your best friend, and that he has his own dreams of being a bus driver. The bus driver comes back and the pigeon is scared away, until he sees an empty eighteen wheeler.
I would love to have this book in my classroom as this is a fun interaction with the students during a read aloud. The students will be laughing and answering the questions that the pigeon asks. This book would be good for Kindergartners to third graders. For an activity, I would let my students come up with their own story if they did allow the pigeon to drive and what adventures he would experience.
