Book Reviews of Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!
Book Review: Not a big fan
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I begin, I must admit that I have yet to read "DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS". That said, I must also tell you that after reading this, I am in no hurry to read the above mentioned. I guess this book is just too simple for my tastes. I do, however, see the kid appeal in it. I felt that some of the Pigeon's comments seemed more adult-like than kid-like. For instance, one excuse he uses to stay up is "Y'know, we never get to talk anymore." or "What's five minutes in the grand scheme of things?" But then, the author has won awards for these books, so who am I to judge? I think there are a lot of fun books out there for 4-8 year olds and this is not on the top of my list.Book Review: I'm not tired. YAWN.... That wasn't a yawn
Summary: 5 Stars
Another fun installment of our lovable take-no-for-an-answer pigeon. As in the other pigeon books we start out with the man asking us if we can make sure the pigeon doesn't stay up late. Of course we have the pigeon act like a young child determined to stay up late. The best part is the freak-out double page when our pigeon goes into all out tantrum mode, complete with hilarious drawings. Yawn... That wasn't a yawn, I'm not tired. Soon our lovable pigeon is asleep and the man comes back and thanks us for not letting the pigeon stay up late (if he only knew).Book Review: Love that Mo Willems
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter still really loves this book. It is part of a bedtime ritual that helps her get ready for bed. We read it really animated and all have fun with it. She can usually talk both of us into reading it. There's yawning and eye shutting and near the end we drop our voices and talk softly and she follows suit. All in all, a great fun and fast read. Just relax and let yourself have fun with putting your child to bed. Of course we own most of the pigeon books and the knuffle bunnies. Hardly a night goes by without at least one of them being read.Book Review: as good as the others
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my children's favorite books is "Don't let the pigeon drive the bus" so I was hoping that this would stand up to the same humor, and we were not disappointed. My kids (6&3) laughed at all his excuses. And now some nights when they keep thinking of things they need to keep them from going to bed...I can just say "goodnight Pigeon" and they laugh and head to bed.
A great book for anyone with children who think up 999 ways to stay up late!
Book Review: Another Great one from Mo Willems
Summary: 5 Stars
So I am an ornithophobiac, or have a phobia of birds, and pigeons happen to be about as bad as they come for me. However, Mo Willems has created one pigeon that is endearing for me and my three children. This book is as good as the other "pigeon" books. It makes the kids laugh, reminds me of all the excuses they make trying to stay up late and is a fun book to read to the kids. You can't go wrong with any of Willems books and this is not exception.
