Father Christmas has to step away from his sleigh for a
short while, and before he goes, he asks the reader to make sure that nobody
steals it. Especially not the pigeon.
And, well, if you want to see a pigeon having a tantrum
mid-strut, then look no further. This is the book for you.
Mo Willems’ much beloved pigeon series has delivered
again, with ho ho hos and surprises aplenty.
The bold colour, outrageously bonkers pigeon and classic breaking of the ‘fourth wall’ (because the pigeon talks directly to the reader) are all perfectly entertaining and quite hilarious.
With his trademark ‘simple’ black line drawings (which
are actually anything but), classically funny language and visual hilarity on
every page, this toe-curling, eye-rolling pigeon is sheer delight.
I can see this book under Christmas trees the world
over.
Maybe yours?
