Dog

In Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, the hero was subordinate to an unseen person who withheld bus-driving permission; here he has the dominant role and must placate his own pesky interloper, as he bargains with a duckling over a discarded hot dog. The tale, conveyed in the same pleasing emotive dialogue and gestures, opens with the pigeon's thrilled discovery of the title snack: 'Oooooh! A hot dog!/ Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!' Suddenly, a smaller yellow bird enters from the lower right corner and asks, in rounded lower-case letters, 'Is that a 'hot dog'?' 'Not a hot dog; my hot dog,' the pigeon sniffs, but his reply gives the duckling a rhetorical advantage. 'What do they taste like?' it wonders aloud. The pigeon knows the duckling's disingenuous game, but his suspicious, hooded eyes and frowning beak suggest uncertainty. The trickster, meanwhile, regards the pigeon through flirtatious blue eyes and coyly tilts its teardrop shaped beak. The pigeon glares at the audience ('Can you believe this guy!?!'), shouts 'That's it! ' in bold two-inch-tall caps and throws an eight-stage temper tantrum before splitting the wiener in half. 'Hmmmm, needs mustard,' says the duck. Through voice bubbles, body language, and expressive sizes and shapes of type, Willems crafts a comical give-and-take between the characters. He sketches both iconic birds in decisive crayony lines and tints the pages with smooth pastel hues. Readers of all ages won't be able to resist miming the sly conversation in this satisfying sequel. Ages 2-6. (May)

'The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!' was a fun book to read and would be very engaging for young readers. Children are able to hear a story that is funny and interesting, while ending with a positive underlying message. By the end of the story, the pigeon decides to share half of the hot dog with the little bird, representing the kindness in acts of sharing. I think that this is a great story for young readers to read/listen to due to its mixture of humor and a meaningful ending. Although the pigeon struggled to come to terms with the idea of sharing his hot dog, eventually he split it with the little bird and were both able to enjoy it together, which is even better! I would highly recommend the book as a good story. ( )

I really liked this book. Pigeon finds a hot dog and he wants to eat the entire thing, but duckling has never had a hot dog before. He is asking Pigeon all kinds of questions about the hot dog and Pigeon is getting frustrated with him. Finally they decide to split the hot dog in half so they both get to eat the hot dog. I think this is a good book to read with young children they will think it is funny and they can understand the concept of sharing with others. ( )

Pigeon rocks! In this tale he has discovered a hot dog, but fast on the heels of his discovery is pesky, inquisitive and ultimately brilliant duckling. Laugh out loud fun, with a good message for kids about sharing. ( )

In this book, the pigeon finds a hotdog and comes across a curious duckling who has never tried a hotdog. At first the pigeon is very selfish and does not want to share, but finally he splits it in half and the duckling gets to try it. The emotion and personality that Willems gives the pigeon’s character will have readers wanting to constantly read about his adventures. ( )
