“Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!” is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Mo Willems. The book was first published in 2003 and has since become a classic in children’s literature.

The story follows a bus driver who leaves the reader in charge of the bus while he steps away for a moment. Before he leaves, he warns the reader not to let the pigeon drive the bus. As soon as the bus driver is gone, the pigeon appears and starts pleading with the reader to let him drive the bus. The pigeon uses a variety of persuasive tactics, including begging, bargaining, and throwing tantrums, but the reader remains firm and does not let the pigeon drive the bus.
