Caldecott Honor #3 Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus


When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place…a pigeon! This just isn’t any pigeon, this is a persistent pigeon that pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book. Children love being able to answer back and decide his fate. Children can relate to this hilarious book because it sums up their temper tantrums when they don’t get their way.
I must admit when I first read this book, I wasn’t impressed. Then, Dr. Petty read it to us and added character…I was hutched over laughing and became a huge fan. I now do the same (adding character) for my students…they love it!
