Caldecott Honor Book | Picture book published in 2003
The pictures within this book are very simplistic, almost like sketches added onto the page. I think this fits the dynamic of the story and the way it is written very well.
This book is perfect for bus saftey and the end of the day pickup story.
“Hey, can I drive the bus? Please! I'll be careful. I promise!“

2003 🏆😒😻😢🥹🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩This book is a TIMELESS CLASSIC. The way the pidgeon is consistently side eyeing and getting into trouble with the simple thought bubbles that show its emotions is halarious. Not only is it captivating to read but also to look at. I am sat.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus is a picture book that was published in 2003. The illustrations include the pigeon having exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic poses which convey a range of emotions such as pleading to frustration. These emotions effectively communicate its desires and reactions. The use of speech bubbles and varying font sizes further emphasizes the pigeon's tone and urgency.
The pictures by Mo Willems are simple but very funny and full of feeling. The big shapes and faces show what the pigeon is thinking and feeling. The plain white background helps us pay attention to the pigeon‘s actions. The drawings look like quick sketches, which makes the story fun and lively for kids.
