Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place — a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum.
Review:
"Readers will likely find satisfaction in this whimsical show of emotions and, perhaps, a bit of self-recognition." Publishers Weekly
Review:
"Willems has captured the essence of unreasonableness in the very young. The genius of this book is that the very young will actually recognize themselves in it." School Library Journal
Review:
"A first picture book by an Emmy Award–winning writer and animator, listeners will be begging, pleading, lying, and bribing to hear it again and again." Kirkus Reviews

This is not a good book - this is a GREAT book. I bought it for a friends granddaughter - she has fallen in love with it. The drawings and pictures are fantastic and the story will grab and keep the attention of children of different ages. The ones too young to read it themselves - love the pictures and want someone to read to them. The ones who can read it - love it. Would make a wonderful holiday gift. Will help instill a love of books in children. One of the best children's book of the last ten years. Well deserving of The Caldecot Honor.

My preschool students love this book so much, they memorize the words so they can "read" it to themselves. It is always funny no matter how many million times I've read it to them.
