About This Book
"Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" is such a fun book that kids just love! It tells the story of a pigeon that really, really wants to drive a bus while the bus driver takes a break. The pigeon tries everything to convince the readers to let him take the wheel—he begs, pleads, and even throws a little tantrum.

This interaction helps kids learn about decision-making and the importance of listening, as they get to weigh the pigeon’s arguments. Plus, it’s a great way to talk about emotions and how to handle wants and frustrations in a light-hearted way.
