Have you ever read the pigeon books by Mo Willems? If the answer is no, then you haven't lived. If the answer is yes, then you know what I'm talking about. We ran across them at the library a few years ago and have gotten bit by the pigeon bug. The thing I love about Mo Willems' books is they are so simple yet amusing at the same time. They are extremely entertaining not only to listen to but to read aloud. Some of our favorites are:
(first and foremost, obviously) DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS!
DON'T LET THE PIGEON STAY UP LATE!
THE PIGEON NEEDS A BATH!
THE PIGEON WANTS A PUPPY!
THE PIGEON FINDS A HOTDOG!
THE DUCKLING GETS A COOKIE!?
We even got the DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! Boardgame. It's great fun for preschoolers and grown-ups alike. If you enjoy driving a miniature bus around the city in a race to collect a driver's license, a set of keys, a hot dog and a knuffle bunny then this game is for you.
Sometimes I wish Mr. Willems would hold a contest to find the cleverest title/subject for his next Pigeon book. Mia and I actually have made a little game out of it, we call it, the don't let the pigeon game. To play, you just say, "Don't let the pigeon. . ." and then you add something random at the end. Some of our favorites are:
Don't let the pigeon get a perm!
Don't let the pigeon perform open heart surgery!
Don't let the pigeon audit your business!
Don't let the pigeon date your daughter!
Don't let the pigeon run for president!
Don't let the pigeon grate the cheese!
Don't let the pigeon do your taxes!!!
What? You got anything better? Post it in the comments below.
Thanks Mr. Mo Willems for sparking our imaginations by writing/illustrating such masterpieces.
p.s. If you like the pigeon books, you really should check out the Elephant and Piggie series and "That is Not a Good Idea" You won't be disappointed.
