The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! Review
User Submitted The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! ReviewsSeptember 11, 2008 The Pigeon Strikes Again There is just something about that Pigeon! THE PIGEON HAS FEELINGS, TOO! is another installment in the Pigeon series by Mo Willems. A board book geared toward toddlers, THE PIGEON HAS FEELINGS, TOO! is part of the "A Smidgeon of Pigeon" subset of the Pigeon books which allows very young children to share in the enjoyment of the adventures and antics of Pigeon. Don't get me wrong, though, this book is still classic Pigeon. In THE PIGEON HAS FEELINGS, TOO! the characteristic line drawings, simple and colorful, introduce toddlers to the concept of feelings, expressed in typical Pigeon fashion. Pigeon stomps when he is angry, mopes when he is sad, and dances when he is happy. The pictures elicit grins and giggles as this short story unfolds. The Pigeon is a unique and distinctive character, and his voice is perfect for young children to relate to. He pouts, he shouts, he gets very stubborn. Even the youngest readers/listeners know he sounds just like they do. He speaks directly to them, too, which just adds to the fun. THE PIGEON HAS FEELINGS, TOO! is a great addition to any Pigeon collection. Cute, silly, and fun, your kids will have a great time with this book. July 15, 2008 More gold from the pigeon! A short card book, but still sheer genius as you would expect. The Pigeon works his/her whole facial repertoire to great effect! May 23, 2008 That Crazy Pigeon... My 15 month old girl absolutely loves the Pigeon books and this one is no exception. We read it several times a day along with the other board book, "The Pigeon loves things that go". While not as good as "The Pigeon finds a Hotdog" or the other Pigeon books aimed at older children it's fantastic for toddlers. The Pigeon's ever changing moods make it perfect for using different expression in your voice which children love. And it's short enough to keep their attention. As always the simple drawings are fantastic and the Pigeon has so much attitude! Very cute! April 7, 2008 Excellent Author Mo Willems' books are highly entertaining and creative. I started buying them for my nephews and now i have the pleasure of buying them for my son. January 20, 2008 Better for younger children, a disappointment for older kids My 5 1/2 year old daughter simply LOVES the Pigeon series and reads them all - Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late, and The Pigeon Finds a Hotdog. So when we found this book, Pigeon Has Feelings, Too, we assumed we had another winner on our hands. What a disappointment it turned out to be! It is a board book, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a 5 year old, but is also ~very~ short. It does follow the same style as the other pigeon books, with the pigeon being kind of "tricked" into going over various feelings until he is happy, the very feeling he was originally asked to present. However, the book is really not as good as the other three by Mo Willems. I feel, however, that this book does have merit for early readers. A three year old, or two year old who has a short attention span, and who is not as familiar with the original stories may well have a good introduction to the Pigeon series with Pigeon Has Feelings, Too. Therefore, I am still rating this book with 3 stars. November 6, 2007 Pigeon for toddlers This book follows the original "Pigeon" books but is geared for toddlers. It uses simple language and the board book format. Young children may enjoy the pigeon's antics on their own with out concern for torn pages. We also have the other books, "Pigeon finds a hot dog" and the original, "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus." I enjoy it with children and marvel at the range of emotions that the author/illustrator achieves with a simple line drawing. Thank you Mo Willems! May 15, 2007 Great book! I'm a teacher and I read the book "Don't let the pigeon ride the bus" and I Loved it. This one is not as good as that one but it is rather cute. April 10, 2007 goofy book with rudimentary pictures Not good for babies...this book has bland colors, boring background and the sarcasm doesn't really fit in a kid's book. January 9, 2007 pigeon is at it again... my students didn't enjoy this story as much as the others that we've read but it is definately on their top 10 list of books to have me read to them. the simple fact that we have just about all of the pigeon books speaks volumes for mo willems ability to capture a first graders attention! January 9, 2007 Great books for children of all ages and grown men who love sarcasm My children love this book and all the books by Mo Willems. Buy it and you will not be sorry. My four year old knows all of Willems books by heart now and he received them for Christmas. For more The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! reviews click here.
