Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems
In his hilarious picture book debut, the acclaimed Mo Willems perfectly captures a toddler's temper tantrum. When a bus driver takes a break in this hilarious Caldecott Honor-winning picture book, he gives the reader just one instruction: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" But, boy, that pigeon tries every trick in the book to get in that driving seat: he whines, wheedles, fibs and flatters. Will you let him drive? Told entirely in speech bubbles, this brilliantly original and funny picture book demands audience participation!
A masterpiece of balance and line, colour and tone, as well as being extremely funny..it is rare to find such a sophisticated , yet appropriate, picture book for small children. Very highly recommended. * Sydney's Child *
An incredibly simple yet brilliant offering and it is easy to understand why it was awarded the Caldecott honour in the US. Mo Willems brings his first book to life with simple illustrations and the true essence of what an interactive book should be about. Wonderful. * Reading Time *
What magic can be achieved with a few sticks of charcoal, a few more of blue, red and yellow chalk and some sheets of paper in muted tones is shown in this Caldecott Honor Book. * Magpies Magazine *
