Product Description
Review
"For a child, it's a delirious formula: all of a sudden, you're in charge of a bus... Well executed and so smartly layered." The New York Times; "This picture book demands audience participation... Readers will identify with the pigeon themselves!" The Bookseller"
--This text refers to the
Paperback
edition.
Product Description
When the driver leaves the bus temporarily, he gives the reader just one instruction: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus". But that pigeon tries every trick in the book to get in the driving seat. He whines, wheedles, fibs and flatters. Will you let him drive?

Format:Hardcover
My son adores this book! He is 1 1/2 and literally cries to have this book above all books to be read for him. Honestly I bought it for me, because many children's books are quite dull and lack humor. On more than one occasion I have brought this book out to show other Mom's and they frantically write down the ISBN code to order this book. Have fun reading it!!!!

This is my favourite kids' book of all time. It's interactive in the sense that the reader can pretend to be the bus driver and the pigeon and the readee can then shout no at the pigeon in response to all his requests. It's funny, brilliantly drawn and my daughter likes it too. Buy it immediately

My 2 year-old loves this book (shouting "No!" every time the pigeon asks to drive the bus) and we all enjoy reading it to him, including my 6 year-old son. It's a simple idea which really works (good illustrations, too).

Was good for discussion and use of speech bubbles too.

didn't like it too much
We love "Edwina" by the same author, but coulnd't really warm to this one. There doesn't seem to happen much, it doesn't seem to be a "real" story, at least not in pictures. Read more

Wonderfully interactive
To be honest I bought this book because I just could not resist the humour of it. I wasn't honestly sure that it would be a successful read for my 2y old son HOWEVER he loves it... Read more

Absolutely fantastic
When I first saw this book I read through and thought it quite amusing, but didn't really think it would appeal to my class of Y1s...
