Mama wants Rose to get ready for bed while she has a quick telephone chat. It seems easy enough, but when the doorbell starts ringing, Rose has to think quick.

Watch out for Pigeon! When the Bus Driver leaves for awhile, he asks us one simple thing: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" Simple enough, but Pigeon really, really wants to! What will we do? It's easy to laugh at this great little story.
Librarian review written by Heath Rezabek

My 6 year-old son loves this book. He loved it before he could read, and now that he is learning to read, he really loves it. I get a kick out of watching him shout NO when he is reading the book. I like the fact that he is learning to interact with books, and not just be passive about it.

Parent review written by Susie

Have you ever have someone beg, plead, and even try to bribe you to do something or give them something? Well here's a funny story about it! This silly little pigeon wants to drive the bus while the driver is away. Will he get the chance? How about if he gives you five dollars? Hmmmm? Well... just whatever you do DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! This was a really cute story. I really think that it's even fun for an older child to read to their little sister/brother (if you have one). I think you'd enjoy a break from really indepth books and have a bit of fun reading this. Enjoy!
