Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
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.Publisher: Hyperion Books for ChildrenPublished: 04/01/2003Pages: 40Weight: 0.7lbsSize: 9.10h x 9.20w x 0.40dISBN: 9780786819881Age: Baby-PreschoolAccelerated Reader:Reading Level: 0.9Point Value: 0.5Interest Level: Lower GradeQuiz #/Name: 72788 / Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!Award: Caldecott Medal - Honor BookAward: Red Clover Award - WinnerAward: South Carolina Childrens, Junior and Young Adult Book Award - WinnerAward: Colorado Children's Book Award - Honorable MentionAward: Golden Archer Award - WinnerAward: Kentucky Bluegrass Award - WinnerAward: Buckaroo Book Award - WinnerAward: Flicker Tale Children's Book Award - WinnerAward: Georgia Children's Book Award - WinnerAward: Indies Choice Book Awards - FinalistReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 02/10/2003 pg. 184Kirkus Review - Children 04/01/2003 pg. 542Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 05/01/2003 pg. 378School Library Journal 05/01/2003 pg. 132Booklist 09/01/2003 pg. 123Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2003 pg. 313 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleKirkus Review - Children 12/01/2003 pg. 1405Booklist Ed Choice Youth 01/01/2004 pg. 782ALA Notable Children's Books 03/15/2004 pg. 1286Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2003 pg. 313 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleAbout the AuthorMo Willems, a number one New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, has been awarded three Caldecott Honors for his picture books, two Theodor Seuss Geisel Medals, and five Geisel Honors for his celebrated Elephant & Piggie series.
