Synopses & Reviews
When Pigeon finds a delicious hot dog, he can hardly wait to shove the entire thing in his beak. But... then a very sly and hungry duckling enters the scene and wants a bite. Who will be the more clever bird?
In this hilarious follow-up to the acclaimed Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Mo Willems has created another avian adventure that encourages children to share even their most prized processed foods.
Review
"Once again, Willems uses
artistic minimalism (each page shows only the birds and the hot dog,
rendered in basic lines) and spare, hilarious dialogue to convey
surprisingly realistic emotions." Booklist
Review
"Through voice bubbles, body language, and expressive sizes and shapes of type, Willems crafts a comical give-and-take between the characters....Readers of all ages won't be able to resist miming the sly conversation..." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Willems's deceptively simple
cartoon drawings convincingly portray his protagonist's emotional
dilemma, from his initial joy to his frustration and struggle over what
he wants to do versus what he knows is right." School Library Journal
