Don't Let the Pigeons Stay Up Late!

Willems, Mo. Don’t Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late! Illustrated by Mo Willems. Hyperion, 2006. ISBN 078683746-2 $12.99. Ages 3-5.


“First of all, I’m not even tired!” Once again Mo Willems has written and illustrated another wonderful book staring his famous pigeon. In this companion to Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! readers are bombarded with reasons given by the tired pigeon to stay up late. With excuses like what shows to watch on TV to asking about the reader’s day, the pigeon finds any reason to stay up late and eventually tires him self out. Each illustration creatively matches the pigeon’s enormous personality. This bed time book is wonderful to read to any child who, like the pigeon wants to stay up late.
