"Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" by Mo Willems

This book is a 2004 Caldecott Honor and I totally understand why! The narrator of the book is a pesky pigeon that wants to drive the bus. The driver has put the readers in charge of making sure the pigeon does not drive the bus and in the end, the last picture looks as if the bus is going to run over the pigeon.

I think this book would fun to read when introducing dialogue into writing. It is interesting to see how the pigeon is able to speak to the readers. For students that are having an extra difficult time with writing, setting up stories, etc. I think this would be a positive tool to have in the classroom for students.
