Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

One beautiful day, my mom and I were out running errands. We had an hour to kill, so we decided to walk through our favorite store.... yep you guess it... Barnes and Noble. As we were per-oozing the many shelves with all the pretty books, we came across "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" by Mo Willems.

Not only is Mo Willems a brilliant author/illustrator, but "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" is an absolute must have in any home library. "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" is about a Pigeon who tries to convince the reader to let him drive a bus.

When my mom and I first read this picture book, we were laughing harder and harder with every turn of the page. And we both have pretty loud laughs, so not only were we having a grand ol' time, we were also getting strange looks from other costumers. All in all a successful Mother-Daughter outing. 

Mr. Willems has written more Pigeon books which include "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late", "Don't give the Pigeon a Puppy" and "The Pigeon Needs a Bath" just to name a few. He also has a series called "Elephant and Piggie" books ... which I'll talk about in a later post. At Barnes and Noble that day my mom and I spent $16 for this fabulous book. Amazon has it $7 used and in 'very good' condition. **as I was researching prices, I found that there are Spanish versions of this book which would be perfect for English Language Learners**

Now, go and READ!!
