We have all been there with a child “oh, please, can I, please-please, oh, come on let me”. Well, with this book, the tables are turned just a bit when the bus driver tasks the reader with not allowing the pigeon to drive the bus.

It is a very funny premise. No matter how much the pigeon wheels and deals, the reader is not allowed to let the pigeon drive. That is one funny clever pigeon, but as the story comes to an end, the pigeon has a better plan, a much bigger plan, a new love.

A funny, funny, book that will help to teach responsibility in a very practical straightforward way. Loved this book.
