Someone get me some crayons and a word processor with Courier font! There is hope for me to become a published author, yet. :0) I do not understand why this book EVER won the Caldecott Award ( for illustrations), and with all of my analytic powers have yet to understand the significance of the storyline. Is it about emotional intelligence?A masked attack on "bird brained" people?Union loyalty?I am underwhelmed.This was my daughter's first exposure to peer pressure. She let that bus driver know that under no circumstance would she let the pigeon drive the bus. Then, when the pigeon was begging and pleading with her, she held her ground and told that bird to back the freak off.Well done. Keep that attitude when people are trying to talk you into buying smokes that cost $14.75 a pack.
As the story opens, a friendly bus driver asks the reader to watch his bus, and whatever happened, Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus. Of course the pigeon appears as soon as the driver leaves with one request, he wants to drive the bus. I really like this idea. Young children can read or listen to this story and see the pigeon try to cajole, weedle, whine and even have a major tantrum to get what he wants. My grandson thought the pigeon was funny, and was sure he never acted like that. The book
This strange, funny book -- essentially about a pigeon (read: child) having a tantrum when s/he can't get what s/he thinks she wants -- is the most popular book in the library with young children, according to my community librarian. The fact that a pigeon driving a bus is so random and ludicrous pushes this book from good to great. Plus the minimal yet very expressive drawings of the wheedling, bargaining, begging pigeon with one big round eye. Indirectly, this is also a lesson for the
My grandson, Mr. H, loves the pigeon books! With this one he was supposed to tell the pigeon "no" every time he asked to drive the bus. But, Mr. H is a bit of a rebel. He kept telling the pigeon that as long as he was careful he could drive the bus. 🤷♀
A short but snappy story from popular cartoonist Mo Willems. 'Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus' is guaranteed to leave you with a big smile on your face! I am not ashamed to say that this story brought out the dramatist in me as I read it out loud to a mother and toddler group! The best part had to be the glorious double page spread of illustrations showing all of the pigeon's techniques to convince you to let him drive the bus... "Your MUM said that I could...", "I'll give you five pounds!"
This is one of these books that you start laughing when you read the title. The rest of the story is still over the top cutely ridiculous. The children must not be convinced by the devious pigeon and let it drive the bus when the bus driver takes a break.And I have to say that this kind of books are equally enjoyable for both my child and myself!
