Have you ever known a character that you wanted to hate but couldn't help but love?! This is exactly how I feel about this guy. Whether the pigeon wants to drive the bus or stay up late, he will continue to make his demands until you say yes. Of course, the reader couldn't possibly agree to his demands. How could you allow a pigeon to drive a bus or adopt a puppy! Especially when this pigeon is not at all responsible!
Mo Willems Pigeon books are hilarious. I've read them at many storytimes and the children have all had the same reaction. They scream back at me 'No, the pigeon will not drive the bus', 'No, the pigeon may not have a puppy', 'Yes, the pigeon does need a bath'. From all of the picture books that I am so very fond of, this collection has to me my favourite. They deliver every single time. If you're looking for interactive books, these are excellent. Whether it's one to one or one to many, the pigeon never fails on giving plenty of laughs and a lot of excitement.
Here is a list of books in the 'Pigeon' series that I can't recommend enough:
