Amazon.com Review Sesame Street veteran and Emmy Award-winner Mo Willems returns with a fast, funny follow-up to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!--only this time, the short-tempered pigeon faces his perfect foil in a "special guest star" duckling. In the previous Pigeon book, author and illustrator Willems expertly distilled the escalating emotions of preschoolers all too anxious to get their way. The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog--also a simple and sparsely illustrated story--explores the flip side of that coin, exposing the poker-face persuasive powers of young negotiators. The pigeon just wants to greedily eat the hot dog that he's found: "Oooooh! A hot dog! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!" Then along comes the duckling, "scooty scoot scoot!" with his insistent questions about hot dogs: "What do they taste like?...Would you say that it tastes like chicken?...Hey, I'm a curious bird." At first, the pigeon entertains the duckling, "Each morsel is a joy! A celebration in a bun!", but then he soon suspects the little bird might have designs on his delicious dog. In the end, of course, the clever duckling gets his way--and half of the hot dog: "You know, you're pretty smart for a duckling." (Ages Baby to Preschool) --Paul Hughes Read more From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1-In this second book featuring the star of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (Hyperion, 2003), the shoe is on the other foot. Once again, the action starts on the title page, with the pigeon's joyous discovery of a hot dog. However, his initial delight is dampened when a small, wide-eyed duckling appears and asks, in a seemingly innocent manner, "Is that a `hot dog'?" The interloper's younger status is conveyed not just through his tinier size, but also through his dialogue, which is presented in smaller, rounder font. Though the duckling never directly asks for a bite, his incessant questioning-"Would you say that it tastes like chicken?"-infuriates the pigeon. Ultimately, the duckling's subtle approach proves successful, and both birds happily share the treat. Children, especially those with younger siblings, will have come up with this obvious solution long before the pigeon does. Willems's deceptively simple cartoon drawings convincingly portray his protagonist's emotional dilemma, from his initial joy to his frustration and struggle over what he wants to do versus what he knows is right.Robin L.

The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by Mo Willems
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by Mo Willems is We had to read this book for a school project. Both of my kids loved this book because it is funny and well illustrated. It turns out that this book was written for his daughter based on actual events. If you read this book (and the others that Mo has written) Closely, you will find that there is more than meets the eye. The illustrations show a huge amount of emotion and there is more written between the words then at the actual words. That is what makes this book brilliant.This is the 1st Mo Willems book that we read. We found out that the pigeon is in every book hidden somewhere. We have now read almost all of the Mo Willems books.
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by Mo Willems is the book is good. It's solid fun and my 3yo took to it instantly. It's also beautiful. A piece of art.but............................the book is made from some special type of paper. I don't know. They're soft. They're big - it's a large book, really. And they wrinkle really quickly. And then they tear.My daughter has a ton of books. And she's very good with books. something about the size of the pages or the paper.. I don't know. It tears. I wish this was available in a library sturdy type paper. Or even hard like Curduroy is (makes for a giant book, but it lasts!).the story is so simple. It's clearly for very young children. I wish the manufacturing part was a tiny bit more sturdy/durable.
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by Mo Willems is If you love Mo Willems, you will love this book. heck, if you don't know Mo Willems, you should, but, you'll still love this book. He has such a delightful way of telling a story with simple pictures. this book has photographs with cartoony pictures on top. The storyline is simple but is easily relatable for young kids (ages 2 1/2 - 5). There's some nice repetition with where they go and I think most kids and parents can relate to feeling frustrated with communicating with little guys before they can really talk. Also, the attachment to a stuffed animal or other toy that is missing is relatable. I have given this to older siblings as they get a new baby at home - sort of a more fun way to talk about toddlers.
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by Mo Willems is I started reading to my now toddler when she was still a baby. I was a bit bored by all the children's books until I discovered Mo Willems. Then, when she started comprehending a bit about what's going on on the page (first more in terms of pictures), this was a bit complex for her. She did, however, like Willems's Cat the Cat series at the time.Now she's 22 months old, and wow, she just LOVES Elephant and Piggy, and all the Pigeon books! (The Knuffle Bunny series has to wait a bit longer, probably for a year.) She asks me to read "the drive," "the rain" (are you ready to play outside), "the pigeon bath" etc. over and over again, and I am happy to indulge her wishes!So many children's books (surprisingly for me) have lazy rhymes or underwhelming illustrations, and sometimes confusing or even downright dangerous "messages," but Mo Willems keeps the storylines light and funny, and I never have to "adjust" my reading by changing the text. I'm so grateful we've discovered him early on!
