I love the Pigeon books, as any parent of a toddler probably does, but the part where the Pigeon finds ten million reasons why the bathwater isn't quite right is a gem. It amazes me how Willems never, ever seems to miss his mark.

I probably had to read this book about a dirty little bird to my 4 year old 5 times in a row the night that we got it from the library. We've read a couple of the other pigeon books and they are always a hit.

The stubborn Pigeon is back with a fight against baths.

As with Willems previous Pigeon titles, this is a fun read to share! The Pigeon directly addresses the reader and the reader becomes the Pigeon character. It's a great book to work on vocal skills. Children as well as adults will enjoy reading this book to themselves as well as to others.

Reviewed from a library copy.

First graders thought the ending dragged on a bit.

I don’t understand the appeal. I hoped that at least the bird would be cute. (Which it was not)

Would be funnier as an animated sketch. Honestly, I could fit the whole book in two pages.

Just felt like watching a super bad 20sec TikTok video.
