From School Library Journal
PreS–Everyone's favorite pigeon is back with two titles for the board-book crowd. In Feelings, the Bus Driver tries to get Pigeon to make a happy face. Pigeon, of course, has other ideas. Words such as happy, sad, and angry stand out in bold colors. Things That Go! presents popular modes of transportation such as a bus, a train, an airplane…and a hot dog (A hot dog can ˜GO' right into my belly!) while Pigeon provides colorful commentary. Both books use the same style and color scheme found in the original picture books, with clean bright pages and simple thick-lined illustrations. Pigeon's fans will be excited to see this wacky bird and his friends again.–Julie Roach, Watertown Free Public Library, MA

Customer Reviews

Ver y 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. Instead of a book demonstrating multiple pigeon emotions, as I expected, we touch on angry, sad, then happy, all in the course of less than a minute of (slow) reading time. I guess it's a cute enough book, but know that it is just a "smigeon of pigeon," not a full book.

We love the 'Pijja'
This book is not as long nor as adorable as 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,' which is definitely a favorite in my house. But I must say, this little board book *definitely* taught my 16 month old daughter about emotions. She loves when we read this book to her- and she copies the emotions that 'Pijja' (what she calls the pigeon) experiences- making sad faces, angry faces, happy faces along with the little guy. Even in this smaller, board book version (which is actually a much smarter purchase for younger toddlers than the hardcover books that they easily tear...) the pigeon is a character that small children can relate to, learn from... and as my daughter does, laugh with.

Another smigeon of Pigeon!
Mo Willems delights again! Personnally a big fan of Pigeon, in particular the hot dog episode, I awaited "The Pigeon has feelings too!" with eagerness. And even though it is only a 5 or 10 page board book, with very little action; it's still a great book. The illustrations make it. Though I would certainly reccommend "The Pigeon finds a hot dog!" or "Don't let the Pigeon drive the bus!" first, this little book is worth checking out if you have very young children in the family.
