## Description

The book "Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus" (2003) is a bestselling second-person narrative in which readers are asked (instructed) to keep a small bird from his chosen pastime of driving a bus. The reader is not given a choice as to whether to carry out this mandate, nor provided with the reasoning behind it. One is simply taken step-by-step through the process of forbidding the pigeon, and at each juncture expected to internalize the logic of her commanders. The book has become a successful ideological tool in the manufacture of obedience. Disguised beneath upbeat imagery and seemingly benign intent, the book’s ultimate function is to turn children dim-witted and servile, perfect prey for the despots and demagogues of their generation. Yet things need not be this way. Don’t Let the Pigeon Question the Rules is a parodic work, designed to expose the original Pigeon books for what they are: thinly veiled indoctrination in the authoritarian mindset. Applying the principle of civil disobedience, as practiced by Thoreau, Dr. King, and Gandhi, Don’t Let The Pigeon Question The Rules is a humane alternative to the bleak proceduralist vision of Mo Willems’s bestselling totalitarian classics. It presents a world in which freedom and reason can peaceably coexist.

Review: Not truly a children's book but amazing - Absolutely love this book, hilariously funny and the point is makes is spot on. I'm expecting my first child in a month and I'm looking forward to trying to read this book to him daily. It's a parody book and as many here says you should look up the author reading the book on YouTube before you purchase as it is not part of the actual terrible authoritarian book series that for some reason people like. Feel like you might have to skip past some words and I do think it would have been ideal if nathan made some of the sentences a little simpler so it could be used as a true children's book. But looking forward to raising an inquisitive child ready to explore the world and question authority!
Review: Cute - Super cute was a great gift

Super cute was a great gift

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little children won't get it
*by G***D on 14 October 2023*

Don't get this for children. They love the predictable pattern of the Pigeon books and can't understand the point of the parody. Adults will smile but my grandchildren just look bewildered. A bit heavy handed even for adults - a good point, but overplayed.
