Why it's here
An interactive, funny book where the pigeon begs the reader directly to let it drive the bus — kids love getting to say "no!" to a cartoon bird, and it's genuinely funny for adults reading it too.
Skip it if
It's built around a single repeated joke and direct-address format — skip if you want a book with a traditional story structure.
