Publisher Description

Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late.

"Oh that pigeon—the embodiment of every kid's secret desires. Now he wants to stay up late. The bus driver, in nightcap and pajamas, warns children not to be swayed by the pigeon's arguments. That doesn't stop our plumed persuader from trying to have his way...This delightful production will have viewers giggling even as they begin to yawn." —School Library Journal

"Another funny story about that stubborn pigeon by Mo Willems. This one is also interactive where the students talk to the story and it is a great book to use to teach students how to read with emotion and read enthusiastically depending on how the text is printed."

— Emily (5 out of 5 stars)

    " Another great Pigeon book! These are extremely entertaining! They are also great to analyze illustrations and point out that they do not have to be elaborate... children can create their own book and illustrate it in a similar way. "

    " I thought this book was enjoyable, but I didn't find many ways it could be used academically. It could spark conversation about bed time or why it's not good for children to stay up too late. It could simply give children an enjoyable book with which to practice reading. Other than that, I'm not sure it could really be of much academic value. "

    " Great book that puts the reader in charge of making sure the pigeon doesn't stay up late. He tries, just like every kid does who doesn't want to go to bed, to plead his case, but it doesn't work. "

    " Oh my goodness. I laughed so loud my 14 yo son decided he had to read it too. He chuckled. I'm sure he'll enjoy it more when he's a daddy and his little one says 'Pleeeease, five more minutes? I'm not tired!' "

    " This would be a great fun-reading book for students. This book could also be read before a lesson on persuasive writing. After hearing the book, students could create their own persuasive dialogue to try to convince the reader to "stay up late". Students could also choose a different topic, such as "play outside longer" or "eat dessert for dinner", etc. "

    " This is the second pigeon book I've read and it's a funny take on all of the excuses kids use to stay up late. It didn't flow nicely from page to page, it felt a little scattered, but I understood the intent. "
