For The Kids
i have a weakness for children’s books, specifically clever, well illustrated books. one of my favorites is The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Stories featuring twisted fairytales like The REALLY Ugly Duckling who grows in to a really, ugly duck. so you can imagine my delight when i stumbled across this gem at the bookstore.Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus is exactly what it sounds like, a book about a pigeon who really, really, really wants to drive the bus. this book was only surpassed by its companion The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog!. Mo Willems is a veteran of kids stuff (he used to write for Sesame Street) and it shows. i love a book that is so simple and yet so hilarious at the same time!

Oooh, the little man needs that book (he’s obsessed with riding buses, for one thing). Thanks for the heads up!
