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.
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.
My students and I LOVE Mo Willem's Pigeon books (and all Mo Willem's books, in fact). I don't generally buy board books because my students are too old for them, but I thought I'd make an exception. I was disappointed. The book barely makes any sense because the pigeon's emotions are not nearly as clear as in any of the other books (which is ridiculous because this book is supposed to be about emotions).
And that's a good thing. His writing is surprising and inspired. His drawings seem simple but are filled with complexity and wit. And He respects the intelligence of children. I wish i could just sign up for a subscription service and get his new books sent to me as soon as they come out. Mo', Mo, please!
This is true, you are getting basically a short story of the pigeon books. This is meant to be a board book and I believe it's the perfect length for young toddlers. My son loves this book and the different emotions the bird goes through, in some ways he acts like a toddler. I think this book is great for children who are still learning or have learned the difference between being Happy, Sad, and angry. My almost two year old cracks up with goggles when I include those emotions into the text of the book.Definitely a must buy for your young ones.
I read several of Mo Williams Pigeon books to a 3/4 grade ELL class, one at a time. The final one I read was this one, which fit in with their study of adjectives and adverbs that describe feelings. They used those words to discuss what feelings pigeon had in the different books I read to them. I left my books in the classroom for them, and they are the prize books to them to read when an opportunity arrives.
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.
Love Mo Willem's Pigeon series! These books are so great! The Pigeon books have helped us talk to our kids about different feelings of anger, frustration, sadness as well as teaching about sharing. I highly, highly recommend these book! Your kids will just love how funny and relatable the characters are. I recommend reading the books with a lot of funny voices and get in to the full emotions of the characters. We received Pigeon Finds a Hotdog book for my son's 3rd birthday and it was an instant hit in our home! My son asked to sleep with the book nightly. We loved it so much that we went on to order this one and The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? books. We will be adding more of the Pigeon series to our collection.I have NOT been given this book free or at a discount. I paid full  price. I offer you my 100% unbiased opinion and recommendation.
