At the Library with Lisa

Mo Willems, #1 New York Times best-selling creator and three-time Caldecott Honoree, presents the 20th anniversary edition of the book that started it all: Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, now featuring an exclusive board game!

Finally, a book you can say “no” to!

When the 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 a pigeon like this one before. As the Pigeon pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, readers answer back and decide his fate.

Mo Willems’ hilarious picture book was awarded a 2004 Caldecott Honor and has been inducted into the Picture Book Hall of Fame. Now, twenty years later, readers can amp up the fun in an all-new board game featuring the Pigeon! Players drive their bus pieces around town. The first player to get to the Bus Depot wins, but remember—don’t let the Pigeon drive the bus!

Say “No!” to all the Pigeon books!

  • The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!
  • Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!
  • The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!
  • The Duckling Gets a Cookie!?
  • The Pigeon HAS to Go to School!

my book pick :

This book is cleverly written and illustrated. My two-year-old grandson loves it and gets very animated interacting in the story, especially when he gets to the page where the pigeon is quite frustrated and demanding: “DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS!” He understands that the “bubbles” mean the pigeon is thinking and that the black scribble means he’s pretty frustrated. And he is hopeful that the pigeon will get to drive the big red truck at the end of the story.
