I love Mo Willems and his Pigeon books. (And Elephant and Piggie books, and Knuffle Bunny books...) This year I read it to my kindergartners, along with a nonfiction book on puppies, and then we discussed the author's purpose in writing each book.
Funny but not as good a the elephant and piggie books
Sometimes you just don't know what you are asking for. This is the case of pigeon who really wants a puppy. Unfortunately, when it comes he wants a walrus instead.
Pigeon has a lot of wants, as the opening illustration on the title page shows. But in this edition of the series, Pigeon really, really wants a puppy. He goes through the usual pleas and bargaining (my favorites are his sarcastic, backwards logic quips). In the end, the silly bird discovers that a dog is a BIG undertaking, and moves on to other ideas. Cute, as always, but lacking a little something that the other Pigeon books have in spades.
Ethan always laughs at the part where the pigeon meets the puppy. He even makes the "Aaaaiiiiiggggghhhh!" sound.
