this book is not for children December 15, 2007

amazing piece of literary genius! I am 36 and think this book is awesome. Interactive, alternative humour and a bulwark against twee storylines. I even introduced it my head of department who was immediately won over (although he bought it for his children instead). On a purely critical level, i consider it to be the more superior of all the "pigeon" offerings; however "don't let the pigeon stay up late" is a worthy contender. The series starts to peter off after this one.
Hard to pinpoint but - Pigeon-tastic! November 25, 2007

My children LOVE this book and so do I! My 34 month old loves the story and loves saying 'no' to the pigeon. My 12 month old adores the pictures and frankly so do I. It's so simple, it's brilliant. It's a perfect combination of bright, simple illustrations that speak VOLUMES and a comical (and again simple) storyline which is basically all about saying 'no' - or from the pigeon's perspective - not being allowed to do what you want! You empathise with the poor pigeon (who is essentially just a toddler desperate to do something they're not allowed) and the drawings are just fabulous. My daughter (the 34 month old) thinks the 'tantrum' page is the best and I'm always telling her that's what she looks like when she's cross!) I can't get enough of this book - even though there are very few words to this book, the illustrations tell the story and I love discussing it with my toddlers. This is a really different book and I love it so much I've bought it for several friends' children too. I would highly recommend this book and don't think you would be disappointed but not sure about the others.
Wacky and demanding...?! July 2, 2007

This is not a book that you can read quietly to your chld at night - it demands interaction from both reader and recipient and once the child has got the gist of what they need to do it is really good fun!
Would certainly recommend it to those who maybe are a bit shy of reading in front of their children as a great way to engage (great for Dad's!)
My 3 yr old loves it and once my 1 yr old is off his Thomas obsession I'm sure he will too.
The illustrations are fabulous, maybe a bit too subtle in some cases for my 3 yr old to get the entire gammet of emotions that pigeon expresses... makes it good for re-reading adults.
You need to really get into the book to get the most out of it, so it can be demanding in that it's not one you can read on auto-pilot. Will have to get some more Mo Williams!

My wife bought this and when I read it I looked at her stony faced and suggested we send it back. At first sight it's the oddest thing. Really strange. We tried it on our girls 2 & 4, and they loved it from the start. Laugh out loud, giggly, silly fun. Now they know it word for word, read it back to me and shout "No" at every page. I still don't get it though!

I bought this book for my 4 year old cousin, and he loves it, so much so that he now has all the Mo Willems books, and is trying to get his teacher to read it at school so that all his friends understand about the dangers of letting birds drive! This is an excelent childrens book that will get even the least enthusiastic readers interested
