Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

Product Information

If somebody is trying really hard to convince you of something, should you believe them more or less?

Three-time Caldecott Honoree Mo Willems brings the Pigeon to the digital screen with this original, feature-rich, animated app. There are a number of books about this pigeon. Could you write your own story in which he is the main character?

Cameo appearances by the Pigeon can also be found in Willems's Knuffle Bunny, Elephant and Piggie, Leonardo, the Terrible Monster and Cat the Cat book series. Count how many times the following words are used in the story: Pigeon, bus, drive, I, vroom and just. Use these to create tally charts and other kinds of graphs. My daughter loved Elephant and Piggie, and delights in this one as well... I confess I find the concept kind of amusing too. It's made better in that my daughter, takes her job of telling the pigeon no so seriously, that she always finds it frustrating when the pigeon offers friendship. She so wants to take him up on this offer, but knows that he must not be allowed to drive the bus under any circumstances.

A first picture book by an Emmy Award–winning writer and animator, listeners will be begging, pleading, lying, and bribing to hear it again and again. What are some good and bad reasons to be convinced to let someone do something? Is feeling bad for them a good or bad reason? Is being scared of them a good or bad reason?Mo Willems’ hilarious picture book was awarded a 2004 Caldecott Honor and has been inducted into the Picture Book Hall of Fame. Now, twenty years later, readers can amp up the fun in an all-new board game featuring the Pigeon! Players drive their bus pieces around town. The first player to get to the Bus Depot wins, but remember—don’t let the Pigeon drive the bus!
