Synopsis
As this picture book begins, a bus driver is just about to leave for his break, but before he does he asks readers to keep a nearby pigeon from driving off with his vehicle. Easy enough one would think, but this persistent pigeon is not above begging, offering bribes, or even throwing a tantrum to make his dream of driving a bus come true. Color illustrations accompany the text. A 2004 Caldecott Honor book.

Industry Reviews
"A first picture book by an Emmy Award-winning writer and animator, listeners will be begging, pleading, lying, and bribing to hear it again and again."
Kirkus Reviews (04/01/2003)
"By putting the child in the deliciously empowering position of being the one to say no to the outrageous request of the pigeon, this avian misadventure begs to be read again and again."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Karen Coats (05/01/2003)
