The book is engaging and begs for me to engage with it. It's perfect to read with appropriate expression and enthusiasm.
The book demands interaction from both the reader and the recipient and once I got the gist of what I need to do, it was really good fun.
85% loved the colorful and engaging illustrations
The illustrations are simple yet exceptionally expressive, conveying a remarkable range of emotion.
Most picture books have brightly colored, detailed illustrations, but Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus has simple line drawings with a hip 60's flair in light, cool-toned hues.
The illustrations accurately reflect the pigeons moods and can be easily identified by me.
The illustrations have a simplistic 1960s style, but that is what makes them appealing. It is remarkable how many expressions the pigeon's face manages to make.
