Don't Let Pigeon Question Rules!

The bestselling book "Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus" (2003) is a second-person narrative that instructs readers to prevent a small bird from driving a bus. The choice to carry out this instruction is not given, and the reasoning behind it is not explained. The book guides readers through the process of forbidding the pigeon, expecting them to understand the logic behind their actions. However, this book has become an effective tool for promoting obedience. Despite its cheerful images and seemingly harmless intentions, its true purpose is to make children unintelligent and submissive, making them easy targets for future despots and demagogues.

However, there is an alternative. "Don’t Let the Pigeon Question the Rules" is a parody that aims to expose the original Pigeon books for what they truly are: a disguised form of indoctrination into an authoritarian mindset. Drawing inspiration from Thoreau, Dr. King, and Gandhi, the book promotes the use of civil disobedience. It offers a humane alternative to the cold and procedural vision found in Mo Willems's bestselling totalitarian classics. In the world presented in this book, freedom and reason can peacefully coexist.
