The main attraction of this book is its simplicity and wry insight into the obstinate behaviour common to children and adults alike. As children become familiar with the book, it can generate some very excited comments which can only add to its enjoyment. The perfect book to develop interaction with the written word from a very early age. Excellent.

Mo Willems' pigeon has won the hearts of my students since it was released. They can't seem to get enough of it. At least once per week some child asks me to choose it for their read aloud selection. Any book that makes my students happy, makes me happy. That's why it is my favorite book of the last decade.

Hi,PETER TEIMAN CLARK here, The sort of book we all wished we had read as kids. Thanks, PETER TEIMAN CLARK Sweden

This is not a good book - this is a GREAT book. I bought it for a friends granddaughter - she has fallen in love with it. The drawings and pictures are fantastic and the story will grab and keep the attention of children of different ages. The ones too young to read it themselves - love the pictures and want someone to read to them. The ones who can read it - love it. Would make a wonderful holiday gift. Will help instill a love of books in children. One of the best children's book of the last ten years. Well deserving of The Caldecot Honor.

My preschool students love this book so much, they memorize the words so they can "read" it to themselves. It is always funny no matter how many million times I've read it to them.

My son asks for this book again and again. Mo Willems puts so much expression into his illustrations that kids can tell what the pigeon is thinking/feeling/saying even if they can't read yet. It's worth reading just for the page of bribery and begging.

I can't believe there aren't 100 responses to this book. This is the new classic for 21st Century kids. Funny for kids and adults. You won't hide this under the bed to avoid having to read it again. Although kids will ask for it every time, it's short enough and funy enough not to wear out your bedtime story patience. Good for two - five years. Highly recommend any Mo Willems book! Great for showers and other kid gifting.
