Don T Let The Pigeon Run This App Game

Posted on by admin

Based on the hilarious book Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and the series that developed after that, Disney has created the app entitled Don’t Let the Pigeon Run This App! The book by Mo Willems has been given recognition on the New York’s best seller list as well as landing a spot on the National Education Association’s “Teacher’s Top 100 Books for Children” list; so it’s no surprise this is a great app. This app allows your child to be imaginative and fun through the use of creating stories. This app helps children to develop literacy, build on creative writing skills, as well as increase creative thinking. It is great for pre-school and elementary aged children.

  1. Mo Willems, a number one New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, has been awarded a Caldecott Honor on three occasions (for Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, and Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity). Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Was also an inaugural inductee into the Indies Choice Picture Book Hall of Fame.

There are two basic parts to this app: Creating a Story and Learning to Draw the Pigeon. The drawing section is pretty self explanatory, it allows your child to either free draw or follow basic verbal and visual steps to drawing the main character in the story: the pigeon. Kids are also able to save the drawings to iPhone’s or iPad’s camera roll.

Mo Willems is best known as the award winning Author and illustrator of kid’s favorites like Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, the Elephant and Piggie series and the Knuffle Bunny books. He now also has a brand new app! Pigeon Presents: Mo on the Go! Where you try to fill your sticker vault by playing mini games, drawing and dancing! The fun includes: Draw with Mo: Use your imagination.

The real fun can be found in the story making section. There are three levels when creating a story: Egg (easiest), Chick, and Big Pigeon (most advanced). The Egg picks a story line and basically plays it out for you on screen. There is an option to read along with the story or to hide the printed words at the bottom of the screen. For the other two levels the story opens up with the bus driver asking a number of questions; in the Chick level the driver gives three choices to choose from and in the Big Pigeon level the driver asks open ended questions. Once all the questions are answered, the story is read and the kid’s answers are plugged in to as part of the story. It’s fun to do over and over creating a unique story each time and hear your own voice in the storytelling. At the end of the story kids have the option to save the story to read again later.
