Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh!

My daughters (7 year old twins and 3 year old) and I are obsessed with Mo Willems' books. My twins started memorizing his books when they were 2 years old, so of course we were very excited for a new Pigeon book! That persuasive pigeon is always up to something! I love the story. It's like the others, but unpredictable, so it was so much fun to read and I'm looking forward to reading it many more times. There's also a little "Easter egg" hidden on the page with the fireplace, and my daughters noticed it right away! I just saw stockings at first, but they knew! I don't want to spoil it for Mo Willems fans, so that's all I'll say. ;) And the ending really made me hopeful for another Pigeon book. I sure hope he'll write more, because we love them! It's another cute book, but what I love most about Mo Willems' books is that they're enjoyable no matter how old you are and they're educational. Toddlers love the silly characters and their lines, which they quickly memorize, and then that encourages them to read. One of my twins was reluctant to practice reading sometimes, but she was always in the mood for Pigeon or Elephant and Piggie books. They really helped with her confidence. Both of them started reading chapter books last year, but we'll always enjoy Mo Willems' books. Of course I got "Be the Bus," which is targeted towards adults, too. I definitely recommend this book for any age and it would make a wonderful Christmas gift! We just couldn't wait until then and had to read it now. :)

This was a gift for a 5yr old girl who loved it!

If you like other Pigeon Series books, then don't skip this one. Our family loves Mo Willems and all of his books, so we are so excited to add this to our collection. It's hilarious, engaging, and beautifully drawn illustrations. It's a similar plot to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, but there's a fun, playful twist of Christmas in there.

The pigeon series is a fan favourite of my sons and his classmates. We read this book every night leading up to and beyond Christmas. Wish there was a Pigeon Easter book as well!

My children loved the Pigeon books and it was so nice to get a new one for my granddaughter. She absolutely loved it!
