Summary: This book takes place when a bus driver needs to take a break and put you, the reader, in charge of his bus. He leaves you with one rule: Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!. The pigeon persists and pleads throughout the book to have just one turn to drive the bus before its real driver gets back.
Use with students: The book would be great to use for early readers. It can be used to teach personification and what persistence means.
