Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

Book Description

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler's temper tantrum.

Great Book!.......2007-10-19

My granddaughter received this book as a gift and recites the lines - she is two. This is probably one of the cutest childrens books I have read in a long time, I purchased it for my other grandchildren along with the other pigeon books - I have never met a child who didn't make you read it over and over and giggled through the entire book.

I give it 5 feathers.....er....... STARS!.......2007-08-22

Don't let the simplistic drawings turn you off. Instead, focus on the wonderful expressions on the face of this most hilarious pigeon. They are priceless. They remind me so much of a preschooler I know only too well: my daughter. Yes, this pigeon is definitely a preschooler at heart, complete with the ability to plead, cajole, bargain, and then throw a whopping tantrum when he doesn't get his way (all he wants to do is drive the bus....geesh!) I've read this story to preschoolers as well as older elementary and they all find great delight in saying "NO" over and over again to each of the pigeon's ridiculous requests. This is definitely a keeper.

Much ado about nothing!!.......2007-08-21

I read all these positive book reviews for this piece of tripe and all I can think is "Has the whole world gone mad???" There is absolutely nothing to recommend this waste of good paper. The "artwork" is as bad as it gets, despite those "enlightened" comments from people who think they REALLY know what art is all about. The story is not funny, nor clever, nor witty, nor creative..... but the words bland and uneventful do come to mind. The only explanation I can come up with for the Caldecott Award and the 5 star reviews is revealed to me on the back cover of the book.... Oh, now I understand, the author/illustrator is a big shot for Sesame Street. That explains everything! Please buy your kids decent books with great stories and artwork. Don't waste your coin on this stinker.

My Daughter and I Love This Book.......2007-08-15

My toddler daughter loved this book the first time I read it to her. I like it too. The cutest thing is that she likes the pigeon so much and would let it drive the bus now. The page she likes best is "LET ME DRIVE THE BUS". She'll wave her arms and kick and shout it out. I just can't stop laughing.

One of the best kid books ever!!.......2007-07-21

I have three kids: 6 yo son, 3 yo daugther and a 1 yo son...and they love this book. My 6yo son can read it with all the best expressions and even my 3 yo can read it!! The first time I read this to them my daugther made me read it about 15 times!! And she laughed and giggled every time I read it.

I love that the illustrations are simple but the pigeon expressions say it all. The kids love that when I read it they tell the pigeon, "Nooooo" when he asks to drive the bus.

If you don't have it in your kid library, get it. It's worth it. Our book is already worn out. We just got "The Pigeon finds a Hot Dog" and it's also a huge hit. Fun! Fun! Fun! Can't wait to get the rest.

My 3 year old son heard this book at a local storytime and laughed so hard I thought he was going to fall off his chair! We bought it and read it so much he had it memorized in just a few days. We love all the Mo Willems pigeon books, but this one is the silliest and still our favorite.

Outrageous cartoons.......2001-06-14

"What Kind of a God Would Allow a Thing Like This to Happen?" is a collection of cartoons by John Callahan. This cartoonist has a very distinctive style: his crude line drawings look like they were created by a hospitalized mental patient. Callahan's work has a deranged, bizarre quality. Nothing is sacred when he starts mocking the world.

Callahan finds bitter humor in such subjects as suicide, capital punishment, bestiality, child molestation, eating disorders, Christianity, and ... sex. He often mocks celebrities: Connie Chung, Rush Limbaugh, Madonna (a favorite target), Bill Clinton, George Bush, and more. No group of people is off limits: he pokes fun at men, women, whites, blacks, Asians, gay men, lesbians, Jews, the handicapped, and others.

...If you've got the stomach for this uncompromising vision, you might find "What Kind of God " to be both brilliant and hilarious. I did!

Book Description

This important new study reassesses the position of Anton Webern in twentieth-century music. The twelve-note method of composition adopted by Anton Webern had profound consequences for composers of the next generation such as Stockhausen and Boulez, who saw Webern’s music as revolutionary. In her detailed analyses, however, Professor Bailey demonstrates a fundamentally traditional aspect to Webern's creativity, when describing his own music. Professor Bailey analyses all Webern’s twelve-note works (from Op. 17 to Op. 31) i.e. the instrumental and vocal music written between 1924 and 1943. These analyses draw on sketch material recently made available at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel and include transcriptions of little-known drafts and sketches. A most valuable aspect of the book is the inclusion in appendices of such materials as a complete explanation of the row content of each work, the correct prime form of each of the rows from Op. 20 onwards, with a matrix constructed for each, and exhaustive row analyses.

Customer Reviews:

An important and useful work with one flaw........2006-03-05

I was very glad to receive my copy of this book when it finally became available. I like especially the way the author balances the views of Webern as an innovator and as a traditionalist. If you perform the twelve-tone works of Webern, this book is essential. If you are interested in the thought processes of someone who created this unique and influential musical style, you can't go wrong to start here.

One complaint: the analyses which are printed as an appendix are rendered so small that they are completely illegible. They are a very important part of the book. I suggest that the publisher should make them available as pdf files from their website.

A tribute to one of television's longest running programs.......2000-06-16

This book is a excellent tribute to the public affairs program that spawned such programs as "Face the Nation" and "This Week". This book is a very interesting look at the political faces that have passed through "Meet the Press" in its first fifty years. This book is a must read for those who really enjoy this program.

SAME OLD REHASH OF EARLIER EDITIONS.

Great for people who never understood the information age.......2000-02-14

People who want to learn the big picture of the information age without digging to deep with technical details will enjoy this book. The book describes basic concepts of computers and their role in the information age. Plenty of good illustrations and the text is easy to read. Used for intro to computer science classes. However, 3 starts comes from the price vs value of content. Books that are required by schools tend to cost more.

Author used copyrighted images without artist permission........1999-09-27

Capron never sought or obtained permission from the artists who's work he included in his book.

Bad! Bad! No bisquit for you, Capron.

Aimed at the beginning user........1998-11-22

Not a bad book for the beginning computer user. Goes into many aspects of the computer: hardware, software, databases, WWW, programming, etc. Most of the examples are related to the United States and in Basic. Not a bad book if you're taking a beginning computer course in school, but anything after that, there are definately way better books to be had.
