perfect negoitiator bed time book

2007-12-25
If you have or know of a child who loves to negotiate to stay up later, this is the perfect book. All the pidgeon series are great. I love them as an adult.

Quirky fun

My daughter got this book from her Nana and has made us read it to her something close to a thousand times (I'm exaggerating, but not by much). It's not the typical children's book, Mo Willems writes a fun, quirky story. And if we do the voices, she laughs like crazy!!!

don't let the author...

Don't let the author write another pigeon book. no MO please!
My son told me, "Daddy, pigeons don't have long necks." he's right.

Another Great one from Mo Willems

So I am an ornithophobiac, or have a phobia of birds, and pigeons happen to be about as bad as they come for me. However, Mo Willems has created one pigeon that is endearing for me and my three children. This book is as good as the other "pigeon" books. It makes the kids laugh, reminds me of all the excuses they make trying to stay up late and is a fun book to read to the kids. You can't go wrong with any of Willems books and this is not exception.

My kids love this series of books and the newest edition did not disappoint them.

Great book - for any time BUT bedtime!

The pigeon throws all the standard tricks to get you to let him stay up late, you say no a lot, he falls asleep and dreams of having a hot dog party. Everybody's happy!

His arguments range the gamut from almost-sincere to positively silly to, of course, none at all. Great fun, can't find words to express that.

This book will tend to hype a kid up. If you are reading this at bedtime, put another, calmer book after it in the line-up. Something like "Goodnight Moon" or "Goodnight, Mr. Night" or "The Going to Bed Book". However, for daytime storytelling this is definitely great for the more fidgety kids, who get distracted at storytime easily. It *demands* audience participation.

Good, not as good as Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus

It's a cute follow-on, but somehow doesn't capture the magic of "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!"

Don't Let These Books pass you by!

Excellent book for a young reader. The story is really funny. Keeps my son engaged and we read one story every night! The whole series is hilarious.

Fun reading

I bought this book to have to read with my grandchildren when they are visiting us and want a book read to them. It is fun to read for both adults and children. And the pigeon does sound the way they do when they want something. In fact, that has become a family password if they start to whine while they are here!

Love that Mo Willems

My daughter still really loves this book. It is part of a bedtime ritual that helps her get ready for bed. We read it really animated and all have fun with it. She can usually talk both of us into reading it. There's yawning and eye shutting and near the end we drop our voices and talk softly and she follows suit. All in all, a great fun and fast read. Just relax and let yourself have fun with putting your child to bed. Of course we own most of the pigeon books and the knuffle bunnies. Hardly a night goes by without at least one of them being read.
