- I bought this puzzle because I was doing a lesson plan using the book, 'Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.' The kids loved trying to put the puzzle together. They would work together in small teams and had it mastered by the end of the week. My only issue is with a preschool class of 20, they are pretty hard on a cardboard puzzle.
