巴士司机临时有事,离开前特别嘱咐读者,千万“别让鸽子开巴士!”可是鸽子使出百般伎俩:苦苦哀求、撒个小谎、拍马屁、套近乎、耍赖……千方百计想坐上驾驶座,你会同意让鸽子开巴士吗?本书荣获2003年美国凯迪克大奖。一看书名就能引起读者强烈的好奇:为什么鸽子要开巴士?为什么不让鸽子开巴士?为什么是鸽子?这到底是一本怎样的书呀!趣味的创意构图,柔和的温暖色调,再加上小鸽子俏皮的耍赖个性,让你不自觉要对他大声喊出“不行!”
When the driver leaves the bus temporarily, he gives the
reader just one instruction: "Don''t let the pigeon drive the bus!"
But, boy, that pigeon tries every trick in the book to get in that
driving seat: he whines, wheedles, fibs and flatters. Will you let
him drive? Told entirely in speech bubbles, this is a brilliantly
original book.
