Join us for a special storytime with bus drivers from Topeka Metro on Thursday, December 13 at 10 at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center. We’ll read Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus by Mo Willems, and share a special thank you for our local public transportation employees! Bus drivers will be happy to answer your questions about what it’s like to drive a bus (unless you’re The Pigeon!).
This collaborative event celebrates Topeka Metro’s Winter Fling-Families Ride Free campaign, happening from Saturday, December 23, through Tuesday, January 2. Families (at least one adult with one child) can ride free on all fixed routes free of charge during the campaign. In addition, drivers will have special cards on-hand with family discounts to local destinations, including the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center.
After the program, kids can drive the bus in The Pigeon Comes to Topeka! A Mo Willems Exhibit at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center, open September 24, 2018 to January 4, 2019. The exhibit brings to life all of Mo Willems’ most popular picture books and characters, including The Pigeon, Elephant and Piggie and Knuffle Bunny in a fun, interactive exhibit that’s full of laughs.
The Pigeon Comes to Topeka!
