| In this hilarious picture book debut, the popular cartoonist ("Sesame Street, Sheep in the City") perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum in the guise of a pigeon who pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the story. (Baby/Preschool) |
|
From the Publisher:
When the bus driver decides to take a break from driving, a wild and wacky pigeon pleads and begs to take his place, capturing the antics of a preschooler's temper tantrum. |
Annotation:
As this picture book begins, a bus driver is just about to leave for his break, but before he does he asks readers to keep a nearby pigeon from driving off with his vehicle. Easy enough one would think, but this persistent pigeon is not above begging, offering bribes, or even throwing a tantrum to make his dream of driving a bus come true. Color illustrations accompany the text. A 2004 Caldecott Honor book.

Kirkus Reviews
"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." 04/01/2003 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"By putting the child in the deliciously empowering position of being the one to say no to the outrageous request of the pigeon, this avian misadventure begs to be read again and again." - Karen Coats May 2003
