The Pigeon HAS to Go to School! Words and Pictures by Mo Willems. Hyperion Books for Children, Hachette. 2019. $17.99 ages 5 and up

"What if I 
don't like school? 

What if I 
REALLY don't 
like it!?

What if I 
really, REALLY 
don't like it!? 

WHAT IF - "

Kids will be as happy as I am to see that the pigeon has a new book. He's been away for a while, and is back because it's time for school. He is not thrilled. He can't see the point in going when he
already knows EVERYTHING! Hmmm! Is that true?

If you know Pigeon, you also know that he is not quite as confident as he would like us to think he is. In fact, he is feeling a trifle anxious. Anything that starts in the morning is not for him. He even considers being little once more; then, he won't have to go. There are a number of things that he is less certain about when he really thinks about the changes that school is going to bring to his days.

"WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT SCHOOL?" 

There is far too much that might go wrong. But, there is ONE thing that makes it all right! If you think really hard about it, you might even guess what it is. You know how Pigeon loves buses!

Everything that has always been good about Pigeon is right here for fans to appreciate. Those fans are sure to be delighted to see him again. Readers new to his personality and shenanigans will laugh uproariously at the drama created in the many speech bubbles that tell his story.

Get your copy of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus (2003) ready, and prepare to begin the new school year with a bunch of fun!
