Description
From the satirical masterminds behind the New York Times bestseller Goodnight Bush (more than 100,000 copies sold) comes this scathingly funny political parody, based on the contemporary children's classic, Don't Let Pigeon Drive the Bus!
As any left-leaning parent of small children will tell you, these days it seems like the Republican Party is taking its tactical and ideological cues from a screaming, mid-tantrum toddler. That's certainly how authors Erich Origen and Gan Golan feel: The parallel came into sharp relief as they read the beloved picture book Don't Let Pigeon Drive the Bus! to their own children. In this wildly funny (and uncannily spot-on) spoof, Origen and Golan take on the Republican political machine, represented here by a cartoonish, hyper-conservative hawk, who wants nothing more than to drive the bus (even though he secretly hates public transit); give rides to his top hat-wearing, white male cronies; run over as many "socialists," environmentalists, and public employees as he can find; and, if he's really lucky, end up aboard the Fox News truck.
