When the driver leaves the bus temporarily, he gives the reader just one instruction: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" But, boy, that pigeon tries every trick in the book to get in that driving seat: he whines, wheedles, fibs and flatters. Will you let him drive? Told entirely in speech bubbles, this is a brilliantly original book.

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"

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).

Cute
This book is simple and cute. That pigeon doesn't give up and is very persuasive. Fun for kids to read together to try and stop the pigeon from driving the bus.

A good series of books.
Bought as part of a list of books for teacher in training to use at primary school, and very much appreciated by the children. The teacher also thinks it a great book.

My children love this!
Not one I would go for myself but both my children have this at nursery and came home talking about it. I think it requires lots of discussion with child and a good imagination. Read more

I was looking for something new (instead of Dear Zoo, etc etc) and this was recommended. The catchphrase has now gone into our family language. Read more

Children of all ages will get a huge kick out of this...
