別讓鴿子開巴士 - 莫·威廉斯

My kid won't stop asking me to read this one at bedtime, which is saying something since he usually picks trucks. The bus driver's plea to the reader makes him feel like a real boss, and the pigeon's bargaining goes from silly to desperate in a way that keeps him giggling every single time.

The pigeon’s pleading eyes and dramatic tantrums crack me up every single time, and my kid now yells "no!" along with the bus driver’s warning. It’s short enough that we read it three times in a row without me losing my voice.

My toddler giggles every time I read the part where the pigeon begs—the desperation in his voice is spot-on. The simple, repetitive dialogue makes it perfect for bedtime, and the hardcover binding has held up well against daily readings.
