Picture Book Award Nominees and Materials: Past Picture Book Award Winners". scasl.net. South Carolina Association of School Librarians . Retrieved March 26, 2017. There are a number of books about this pigeon. Could you write your own story in which he is the main character?

What’s a time you learned something important from being punished? Are punishments ever good for you? What about for grown-ups? Can you name a time when you saw someone or a group of people do something mean? Did you blame them? Why or why not? If nobody was around and we wouldn’t be putting anybody outside in danger by letting the pigeon drive, could we let him drive?

Success!

BUT WHEN THE BUS DRIVER IS RUNNING LATE (GASP!), PIGEON BELIEVES HIS DREAM TO DRIVE THE BUS MIGHT ACTUALLY COME TRUE! The story is simple, and delightful to children. A bus driver asks the reader (or at least the person the reader is reading to) to keep a pigeon from driving his bus. The pigeon will use all of his guile to convince you to allow it to drive the bus. The reader must be resolute and tell it no.

Can you think of times when you wanted to do something, but your parents or a teacher would not let you? Why wouldn’t they let you? After my daughter and I worked our way through the entire epic Elephant & Piggie saga, we've decided to move on to Mo Willems other big series: The Pigeon.
