Comments:
I love how Willems’ books often have tiny morals or behavioral
lessons and often attach a surprise ending. This is one of the best in those
respects. My husband even read it and liked it so much he wondered aloud who we
might buy it for.
I have a soft spot for rowdy characters like Pigeon who rage
off the deep end—and also for soft-spoken big-eyed characters like Duckling who
always seem to be a step ahead because they’re so even-keeled and clearheaded. I
think children (adults, too) see themselves in both.
Read this one. I think you’ll like it.
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Yes.
