The ''Pigeon'' series is a set of children's picture book by writer[=/=]illustrator Creator/MoWillems (some of you might recognize him as creator of the Cartoon Network series ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity''). The first book in the series, ''Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!'', was released in 2003. In it, a bus driver who has to take a break asks the reader to watch the Pigeon, who then tries to finagle the reader into letting him drive the bus. Its runaway success spurred the release of other books, videos, and merchandise. There is even a [[http://www.timeout.com/london/theatre/dont-let-the-pigeon-drive-the-bus musical]][[http://www.bigwoodenhorse.com/big-wooden-horse-tour-schedule.html tour]] called simply ''"Pigeon"'', followed by the year of the tour (2013, 2014...), based on the book.

It cuts much of the story, including the bus driver saying that the Pigeon is filthy, as well as the scene in which the flies won't go near the Pigeon.
