Summary: In the story, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, the pigeon sees that the bus driver goes on break. The pigeon has one goal in mind and he can't stop thinking about how he wants to drive the bus even though he was told "no." He is very pushy and persuasive and gives many reasons why he should be allowed to drive the bus before he throws a tantrum. All along, the reader is placed to make the decision between right and wrong. I loved the adorable pale and simple illustrations. Each page of the book had large fonts and minimal words for easy reading. This book is a great example for the reader to reflect on how to make good decisions and not melt down if things don't go their way.
