Pet Mania! The Pigeon Wants a Puppy by Mo Willems

Pigeon has a mind of his own!

"Do you know what I want?

A PUPPY!
"

And when Pigeon makes up his mind, he is immovable! He. Is. Adamant! He. Is. Demanding. But he makes his case with aplomb.
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it.

I promise I'll water it once a month.

Pigeon wants his puppy and he wants it now! A tantrum is brewing...

A little reality therapy is clearly called for. He needs to, er. actually see a puppy. And when he does...

AAAAAAAARRRGHH!! Puppies are GI-NORMOUS! And they have ginormously huge...
TEETH!

Pigeon suddenly has a change of mind, in the new edition of Mo Willem's best-selling The Pigeon Wants a Puppy (Hyperion, 2018 (rev. ed.). Pigeon rethinks the issue, and now he thinks he will settle for--a walrus! Willem's new revised board book version of his beginning readers's book has plenty of punch in this delightful tale of pet lust, with Willem's signature black-line illustrations and perfectly paced pages that kids won't want to resist turning. They'll want the book--if not the walrus! Says School Library Journal's starred review,"The incorrigible bird returns for his fourth full-length romp!"

  • Children join up to read stories to therapy dogs in the secure, welcoming environment of a library, and reading dogs are nothing new. You can find the dog stories at PetCareRx. These programs, which have been around for a while, have a range of catchy titles that are intended to spark interest.
