The pigeon books are what kids enjoy.

Great series for reading to my granddaughter! They are funny and can be read wit a lot of emotion

Mo Williams is the best! We use this book in our school to introduce parts of the school before we head off to take a tour of the school. Silly, fun & well done!

This book is so much fun! I teach PreK and the kids love the pigeon and all his antics. This is a great book for the beginning of the school year too.

Is funny little story book . The character is cute. My son are love too pointing the pigeon.

Great quality low price, thank you!

I loved the other drive bus ... hot dog ... stay late better and funnier

My daughter lives these books, this one was great as she was starting preschool.

At first I was doubting about the book but my kid was laughing about a pigeon who wanted to stay little pigeon forever and not going to school. We had a problem with 1st grade and a teacher who wanted kids to learn more academic way not the “kinder way”. My kid was imitating the illness and tried to avoid to go to the school because he still wants to play. Nothing bad with that but I thought maybe some story will help, that explains what he actually does at the 1st grade… so it was quite helpful. I’m going to quote and remind him about the pigeon.

Bought this book for my three year old. She already knows how to read and this book is kind of perfect for her. She laughs and repeats the paragraphs and giggles about it. Paperbag serves the purpose so dont need to spend on the hardcover.

Great at always
