The start of another kid's book series from Mo Willems, creator of the Pig and Elephant series, but this new series is advertised as "Finally, a book where you can say no to the main character!" But then Sesame Street got there first with a reader's participation book about Grover, the Monster at the End of the Book, where kids choose to not obey whenever Grover Monster says don't turn the page. In this instance, kids are asked by the bus driver character to not let the city pigeon drive the bus, since pigeons have poor eyesight, and this causes "fowl ups" on highway 14. Sure enough, soon as the bus driver exits, the pigeon busts in and tries to get young readers to cave in and let him drive the damn bus. Now seriously, would you entrust proper management of a city bus to something with wings? I didn't think so either. Sweet book that gives Grover a run for his CTW money. I mean, just because bus driving is for the birds, don't make it so. Mo Willems has the control of the wheel in this one. Go Greyhound, and leave the driving to Mo, not the pigeon!!!
Four stars
