Evaluation

I loved reading this book. The illustrations and concepts are so simple but it was still very entertaining! This book would be great for kids, especially those with a short attention span. While I was reading this I could almost hear the children yelling no every time the pigeon asked to drive the bus. It would be a good book for participation because it's easy to anticipate what pigeon will ask next.
