Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!is a story about a bus driver who leaves the reader in charge of making sure that the pigeon doesn’t drive the bus. As soon as the bus driver leaves, pigeon arrives trying to persuade the reader in different hilarious ways to allow him to drive the bus. Throughout the story, the reader feels involved and included within the story.
The illustrations are simple, but entertaining for younger readers. I can see students in grades K-3 enjoying this book and falling in love with pigeon. Also, I think younger readers would like the idea of being asked questions and feeling involved with the story.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it was not my favorite. I’ve read several of Mo Willems books and I feel that this one didn’t compare. I think the ending is funny where pigeon sees a semi and then has an entire page of him dreaming about the semi. However, I feel that younger students will be lost when they read this and will need some guidance to help predict what will happen next.
