"Story Time, Debunked". New York Times . Retrieved December 31, 2011. A 2011 scientific study entitled "Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" examined the ability of pigeons to solve the traveling salesperson problem by taking the shortest route to visit multiple feeders in a laboratory. The authors found that pigeons "appeared to plan ahead multiple steps," which provided "clear and strong evidence that animals other than primates are capable of planning sophisticated travel routes." [11] [12] What’s a time you learned something important from being punished? Are punishments ever good for you? What about for grown-ups? BUT WHEN THE BUS DRIVER IS RUNNING LATE (GASP!), PIGEON BELIEVES HIS DREAM TO DRIVE THE BUS MIGHT ACTUALLY COME TRUE!

New York Times Bestselling author and illustrator Mo Willems is best known for his Caldecott Honor winning picture books Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Knuffle Bunny: a cautionary tale.Let’s have some fun along with the Pigeon and expand DOK along the way! This lesson will lead your primary GATE students through four challenging activities, culminating in an artistic response showing why they “never get to do anything!” either. Marquis Bundy (Teenager / City Worker) is beyond excited to be in this show! His journey with YPT began with Knuffle Bunny last year! A couple of his other Chicagoland credits include Little Shop of Horrors and You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown (Citadel Theatre Company), Godspell and Little Women (The Home Creative Co.), and A Christmas Sonata (Sigman Brother’s Productions.) He is from Des Moines, Iowa, where he has done additional theatre work, including choreographing and assistant directing. Marquis loves video games, being a barista, and being a lava lamp enthusiast. The story is simple, and delightful to children. A bus driver asks the reader (or at least the person the reader is reading to) to keep a pigeon from driving his bus. The pigeon will use all of his guile to convince you to allow it to drive the bus. The reader must be resolute and tell it no. In addition to the Caldecott Honor, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is an American Library Association Notable Book, a National Council of Teachers of English Notable Book, a Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Blue Ribbon Book, [4] and a South Carolina Picture Book Award winner [5] Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children." [6] It was selected as one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. [7]

The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! is a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year. [8] Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! is a Parenting Magazine Best Book. [9] The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! is the 2009 Children's Choice Kindergarten to Second Grade Book of the Year. [10] I do not like the artwork of Mo Willems. He did the Elephant and Piggie series and I didn’t like that series. Now, the kids did like it. I went into this with dread, I’ll be honest. Questions for Philosophical Discussion » Summary A pigeon’s bus-driving aspirations help us to explore the responsibility to keep promises, persuasion, and the value of punishment. Should someone be punished for doing something bad if their parent told them to do it? Why or why not? Cameo appearances by the Pigeon can also be found in Willems's Knuffle Bunny, Elephant and Piggie, Leonardo, the Terrible Monster and Cat the Cat book series.
