Customer Reviews

Why a board book that doesn't stand on its own?
It seems to me that the board book format is designed for younger children than the original Pigeon books. Therefore, this book (and its companion, The Pigeon Has Feelings Too) should be able to stand alone and be read first. However, neither book makes much sense if you don't know the stories told in the originals.

I am a librarian who ordered these board titles for a public library. My fear is that someone will find these books first and be turned off before they can discover the entertaining originals.

Very disappointing
My young son and I are huge pigeon fans, having loved the first two books. When I saw that Willems was releasing two new pigeon books, I was very excited and ordered them immediately. Perhaps if I had waited, I would have seen that these are "board books," i.e. only a few "pages" long. My son enjoyed "reading" the "things that go" (a bus, train, airplane and...hot dog?), and laughed at the appearance of the little duck in connection to the last item, but it was very short and forgettable. I guess it's a cute enough book, but know that it is just a "smigeon of pigeon," not a full book.

love it- for my 6 month old!
Very clever, short book with a smart punchline and great little drawings. It may not be the full 'pigeon' experience, but my six month old adores it! and we like reading it to him too - it's easy to put lots of expression into it. It's a board book - it's meant to be short!
