Comments about DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS BOOK SET:

I gave this to my 2-&-1/2 year-old niece, and it was a big hit with her and her mother. Mo Willems' books get great reviews on [...]; and though [...] books are the least expensive, I couldn't find the adorable plush pigeon anywhere else but at Uncommon Goods. The pigeon is a great size, nice and soft. His "Let me drive the bus!" is a little difficult to hear, but since it's the author's voice, that makes it special.

Comments about DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS BOOK SET:

I purchased this as a gift for my three-year-old nephew. He had never read the book "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," but it is now his new favorite book! The illustrations are clear and the story makes for a great quick read-aloud. The pigeon stuffed animal is of good quality, although the part you press for the voice to activate is in a strange location (in between the pigeon's neck and stomach), and the voice is deeper than I would have expected. Overall, a great purchase!

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was very fast - about three days to Illinois - with only standard shipping charges.

I love all the "Pigeon" books and though this was a great combo gift for my nephew for Christmas. It's a very cute set, but with the pigeon had more that one phrase that he said.

Very fast shipping! I ordered the product and had it shipped to my sister in RI. She was shocked when she called and said she received it in like 2 days.

Comments about DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS BOOK SET:

I purchased this book and pigeon set for a nephew who lives out of state. My 6 year old daughter loves these books, and we parents find ourselves laughing throughout too!\n\nSweet, funny, and enjoyed by children and caregivers alike, author Mo Willems' books never disappoint. A fantastic book for bedtime stories, great for those of us who add 'voices' to our characters. I highly recommend.

Service & Delivery comments:

uncommongoods.com is a lifesaver. I have so many people that are difficult to buy for, and I always find something unique at your website. Delivery is super prompt, packaging (and giftwrap) is great, and I never worry when I shop here. Thanks!

Comments about DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS BOOK SET:

This book/toy was purchased as a gift for my 2 year old nephew Jackson. He absolutely loves it as do his parents. They read it and interact together and he just loves the pidgeon stuffed toy which also talks along with the story book. Jackson now walks around telling the pidgeon, "don't drive the bus." The success of this gift will keep me returning to Uncommon Goods again and again for gifts.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was outstanding and exactly on time as promised. I was kept informed as to the progress of the gift and it arrived perfectly.

Comments about DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS BOOK SET:

My niece is a Kindergarten teacher, and loves the pigeon books - so we got her this set for her birthday. Even though she already has the hardback - it was the perfect gift. The pigeon is a good size and it talks fairly easily. She is very excited to use it with the books during reading sessions with her kids.

I live in California, but my sister lives in Ohio so I do a lot of shopping online for her kids. This was the only site that combined both the book and the toy. Perfect! And with normal shipping it arrived in a couple of days, arriving just in time for his birthday.
