"There's no such thing as a bad Mo Willems' book" The Times

"A raucous, zany, skit of a picture book...a masterful way of channelling a toddler's high spirits" The Telegraph

"If there's a living creator of children's books who stands a chance of occupying a cultural position akin to a Dr Seuss or a Charles M. Schulz, it's Mr Willems." The New York Times

When a bus driver takes a break, he gives the reader just one instruction: "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!" But, boy, that pigeon tries every trick in the book to get in that driving seat: he whines, wheedles, fibs and flatters. Will you let him drive? Told entirely in speech bubbles, this brilliantly original and funny picture book demands audience participation!
