Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale par Mo Willems
This book is written by the master, Mo Wllems! His story and illustrations combine comedy and drama, as Trixie loses her stuffed bunny in the laundromat. This is also one of my favorite read alouds for Kindergarten students.
The pigeon wants to drive the bus is hilarious. First, the bus driver puts you, the reader, in charge of the bus and along comes the pigeon it wants to drive the bus. He does a small campaign of why he should be allowed to drive the bus and then tries to con the reader into letting him drive the bus. He loses his mind when he is not able to drive the bus and all is good and well when the real bus driver returns, but then the pigeon sees a 16 wheeler and wants to drive that now instead.
This book is an instant classic. A story that is both relatable and formative, this book perfectly relates the emotions of losing a much-loved toy/companion, but shows that growth and kindness mean as much as the toy itself. The illustrations are fantastic.
This book is hilarious. I love the Pigeon books in general, but this one is my favorite. I love the pigeon's realization that school is a place where he can learn things and have people that will help him and it doesn't have to be scary.
