Title: The Pigeon Finds a Hotdog
Author/Illustrator: Willems, Mo
Publisher and Date: Hyperion Books for Children, 2004
Genre: Picture Book
Age Range: K-2
Summary: In this book pigeon is so excited that he finds a hotdog! He is about to put the “taste sensation” in his mouth when all of a sudden a curious young duckling arrives. Each time he is about to take a bite, the duckling asks a question. The pigeon gets so upset; he pitches fit and does not know what to do. The ducking has an idea and the reader turns the page to discover that they have decided to split the hotdog.
Response: This book was so great! The illustrations are hilarious you can see and read the emotions of the pigeon! The text goes along with each illustration. For example when the pigeon gets really annoyed with the duckling, the illustration shows him flying about with his eyes wide open and spit flying from his mouth, while the text is written in big bold yellow tainted letters that read: “IT JUST TASTES LIKE A HOTDOG, OKAY!?” Any child would be enthralled with the pigeon! The book is very readable for children of all ages!
Teaching Ideas: This is such a funny book with some great lessons for kids! One important lesson this book teaches is sharing. The pigeon wanted to eat the hotdog all by himself, but he felt guilty about not sharing with the duckling. In the end he did the right thing and compromised by splitting the hotdog in half. We need to stress to children that we may not always like to share with others, but when we do it make everybody happy!
