Synopses & Reviews
The Duckling asks for a cookie — and gets one! Do you think the Pigeon is happy about that?
Review
"While just plain fun to read
aloud, this book is an excellent conversation starter on the topics of
politeness and making reasonable requests....will please fans and newcomers
alike." School Library Journal
Review
"The importance of
politeness is evident....Just as enjoyable as a read-aloud to a group or as a one-on-one lapsit,
it's a pleasure to see Willems at the top of his game, and The Pigeon
suitably humbled." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"As usual, Pigeon works himself into a tizzy...[but The Duckling] gets the last laugh — who says nice guys finish last? This is Mo Willems at his best." Shelf Awareness
